Collab 2020: Modeling Heavy Equipment (Backhoe)

[Kent Trammell]

Crap. That means others probably won’t understand it either… I really just need volunteers for each part established. Then I can save placeholder .blends to start from.

[Shawn Blanch]

Yeah that makes sense to me.

[Adrian Bellworthy]

Received and understood.

@theluthier I will be finishing my exterior part AND signing up for an interior part once that’s done. I’m in it for the long haul 😉

@dostovel Thank you, Omar. Super helpful.

@blanchsb Thanks for the How-To Shawn, makes it all clear now.

[Adrian Bellworthy]

@dostovel I feel the battery box was better placed before you moved it in the y-axis. I asked you previously only to move in x-axis, which you did and all was good. There was an issue which @blanchsb pointed out with the driver tripping every time they got in or out.

I think moving in y-axis was the wrong solution.

Nicely tucked up against the fenders, snug as a bug in a rug.👆🐞

I could just move the fuel lines as you suggested, however as you can see the box no longer lines up with the fender.No I can’t move the fender as it fits with the cab.

Also on the other side, we have an accident waiting to happen.

It will be OK if we stick to a nice flat road, but I intend to take this Dog off road.

I would suggest moving back to the previous position and we find a different solution for the floor of the cab. maybe the pieces should be shortened by an inch or two, or maybe the floor is too low, or a bit of both.

What do you all think??

[Omar Domenech]

Yep, there’s problems there. I will get on it, let me see what solutions I can find. 

[Kent Trammell]

Glad to hear it @artifact! Thanks for the update 🤝

@ritag Glad to hear you’re continuing with the project! Do you not want to add the shared project folder to your Google Drive for automatic file syncing?

@ketre Sounds great! Enjoy your new grandbaby as long as you can 🙂

Now it makes sense why the boxes where giving me such a headache. I made a mistake at the beginning of it all. I was seeing that in the real life reference the boxes seemed smaller than in the 3D view. 

But I had followed the blueprints so why? Well I followed the wrong contour, in the beginning when I wasn’t used to looking at them I thought this was the box:

But it’s actually this:

I will fix it ASAP.

[Adrian Bellworthy]

I think most of the pound have had an issue with the blueprint in one way or another.
