Nice use of rounds to allow for bending the sidewalls. I just built a water tower for the (...) (26 years ago, 16-May-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | better idea is to make a .MPD file with the parts in them. i "un-inlined" the hulls and it went all the way down to ~20k add the size of the ufo hull and it is at an acceptable size. (26 years ago, 15-May-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | [removed .trains from crosspost list] (...) You un-inlined the file that Ben posted by converting it to an MPD, and this reduced it from 429K to ~20K??? Awesome! --Todd (26 years ago, 15-May-99, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | great mdel. i think that if you took the bottom ufo hulls off and removed the stand,baseplate and added some mre layers it would make a great storage drum for oil or grain or whatever. (26 years ago, 15-May-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)
