      A bit late to the party…

        Didn’t start this earlier, because there was not much to show; I must have started from scratch on the front axle, about 17 times!

        This was because I couldn’t ‘understand the shape of it…(Still need to figure out how the steering is connected to the axle…)

        I submitted this yesterday, because it was time and I am not unhappy with where this is going:

        There are however some intersections with the Chassis @adrian2301 and the axle should actually be able to rotate quite a bit on the Y-axis and there doesn’t seem to be a lot of wriggle room there:

        Although it has room on one side, so maybe that is ok, have to re-watch that video that @blanchsb linked me to…

        The engine enclosure however @artifact and @doulos4iesou  is completely in the way;)

          Oh, and here is some of the wireframe madness:

            Oh No My Wheel is too Big! and when I aPend it It deletes all the objects except the tyre. I cannot scale it down  or it will make the tyre thinner. can you Help?

              I think we will see more conflicts moving forward haha. Just gives us opportunity to collaborate more.

              We may have to share files back and forth I dunno? Maybe @theluthier  can share some best practices during the live stream.

              Really need to work with @adrian2301  and @pfbourassa  more. I dropped the ball with them this month haha.

                @spikeyxxx I have updated the chassis as we found it was to narrow to fit the rear axle. While adjusting for @duerer rear axle I lined up the front to fit the engine enclosure. Check the sheet for the file for the updated version. I’m writing this on my phone at the moment. So can’t post a link here. If Kent hasn’t resolved the comment yet I’ll post it tomorrow.

                    I had a quick look and I need to adjust the cross beams  and put a hole in them for the fixings.

                      @spikeyxxx made small adjustment to the cross beams, need to put the hole in them, can you confirm the location of the axle, should the hole be offset from centre ? or can the axle move over a fraction? It’s currently off centre from the world.

                        My bad, it should be right in the center, it wouldn’t make any sense to  me for it to be off-centered.

                        I’ll fix that right away, thanks.

                          Here’s the fixed version:

                          I only moved the hole/cylinder; the rest of the beam appeared to be in place already…

                          This also just consists of ‘my’ Collection, so it’s ‘cleaner’, smaller and easier to work with;)

                            @adrian2301 this updated version already looks a lot better:

                              I think that is looking great @spikeyxxx I can wait to see the actual non-subdivided wireframe.

                                @blanchsb Thanks, you can check it out at the Google sheet for the Collaboration. You can read all the Comment boxes (where there is a little orange triangle in the upper right corner) and thus have access to all contributions…

                                There are still a few tiny mistakes in that (second) file, they have already been fixed now, but I didn’t want to update my submission again (there were some non-quads, because some verts hadn’t merged at some point…and one ‘ugly’ quad, I mean shaped like an arrow head.).

                                  That’s funny because I resubmitted last night lol. Oh well hopefully Kent doesn’t harp on it too much. I’m such a rebel.
