What a learning experience! It took 12 version saves to get “close”. And I’m sure there’s more to learn after the reviews come in.

Looks good. You chose a relativle simple part for your first, unlike me:



   1. Parts 41855 and 47457 have 4 pairs of 1 LDU ridges/clips opposite on each corner. s41855s01 does not represent them. Should it? Is there a specific primitive or do I use a cuboid to represent these ridges/clips in 47457?

Don’t worry about those. They’re non-funtional and insignificant

   3. MORE IMPORTANTLY, how to I get a good measurement on the inside curve? My caliper’s wire tail is not pointed so I had to guess by adding 1 LDU.

Guessing is fine as long as you’re not too far off.
