ASH26 - 3DsMax help needed!
Hi there!
i had a bit of free time today, and so i decided to practice some 3DsMax again.
I've started on an ASH26(E), which i might complete if i find the time, but this is not sure yet.
However, i've just created the Canopy by making a copy of the fuselage and then cuting out the canoy with "slice plane".
Now i've got the fuselage itself and the canopy as a second object, fitting to the shape of the fuselage.
I would now like to use the canopy-object to cut out a part of the fuselage, with the same shape as the fuselage has atm. Can anybody help me with this? I think there is some possibility to create a shape and then use this shape to cut it out from another object, but i have no idea anymore how to do this

I tried to understand what you want to do but I still do not after 10 rereads.
Can you please write w/ steps what you have done and what you want to do?
If you only have single object which has cut canopy line. To separate one from another into a new object, simple select polygons and use detach command on the edit panel to create new object from detached polygons.

Ok, i'll try
I wanted to cut the canopy out of the fuselage. For this reason, i first cloned the whole fuselage, then used the "slice plane" option on the clone to create a line of vertices, according to the line to the canopy-glass. After doing this, i removed all the vertices of the clone-fuselage that are not part of the glass, and so i got a canopy glass with correct dimensions, fitting onto the original fuselage.
Of course the original fuselage does not yet have a cut for the canopy, as you can see on the picture.
My idea was now to use the canopy i've just "created" as a pattern for cutting the same shape into the original fuselage. For this i thought i could extrude the canopy object a bit upwards/downwards. Now i would like to move the extruded canopy a bit downwards, so that it "sits" in the original fuselage and then cut out all parts from the fuselage which are covered by the canopy object.
I hope it's understandable now , if not i also appreciate any other suggestions to get the canopy cut into the fuselage + create a fitting canopy glass object

This could work, but IMO can result in many problems.
The way I do this, is instead of your canopy, i create a cylinder, move vertices so that I get myself the profile shape of the canopy and do the boolean cut.
Now to use your canopy you already have to cut w/ this procedure, simply extrude canopy sideway so that it mimics attached picture, then do the boolean cut.
Of course when you are done, do not forget to clean the mesh.

Well, for creating a ASG29 i think the easiest way would be to modify the current model of the ASW28-18. Add flaps and a few small changes in the shape and the ASG29 is finishedEA wrote:I can't wait for those new gliders
@Mosquito : once you're done with the ASH-26, if you still have energy and motivation, you could adapt your 3D model to match the new ASG-29... What would we do without your great work ?
Btw I'm surprised nobody started a Ventus 2Cx and a DG-808...
