Reply To: Backhoe Contribution – adrian2301 – Chassis/Stabilizer/Fenders and the Engine. And the hydraulics for the swing frame.

Thanks @blanchsb , I watched the live stream again and had a little smile when I listened to @theluthier ‘s remarks about the engine, and I admit, I watched that bit twice more.

Not too much left on the engine it’s self, the gearbox was next, but that is probably just one big piece, just a matter of the shape.

@jakeblended is on the spaghetti around the swing frame, as @theluthier said , I’m not so sure that part I linked in the stream will be seen, is it worth the effort. I could probably model it in about an hour or so. Jake has a bigger part right behind the swing frame, where all Kent’s and his as well as my 2 lines on the stabilizer all attach, don’t think it’s worth going further than that.

What about your end @blanchsb , do you know how far your going with the lines on your loader arms??

By the way @dostovel I have two fuel lines to go into the fuel tank. Do you want to attach them to the spacer thing I got as far as or do you want me to continue all the way to the tank??? See Below….. Also your parts just need moving forward a little bit on both sides as there intersecting the chassis. I lined the chassis up with the axles and engine enclosure, if you don’t mind.

Do you mean an end cap feature like on the array modifier??

I was thinking the same and did look at the settings , but didn’t find anything. 

The best way I found to get an end piece where I want it or the hose to the centre of the fitting is to place the 3D cursor in the centre of that piece and snap the last handle of the curve to the 3D cursor.

Maybe @dostovel will know if that’s possible.
