Sure I attached some pics. The part "Rally Fighter Body v1.0 (081310).sldprt" there are 7 rebuild errors on my model. I'll list them below: -(Imported_1_2_7.jpg) This is below the rear bumper. I hid the main body surface, which is called "Surface-Imported1" in my tree, so you can see them better. I assume its just mad b/c surface Imported1, 2 and 7 are floating. -(Surface-Imported_1.jpg") Is the main body surface in my model. I didn't bother pointing them out b/c its just minute little gaps here and there. But if you would like i can. -(Surface-Imported_4.jpg) This is the trunk. I'm assuming its just mad about the gaps that i pointed w/ the red arrows. -(Surface-Imported_8_12.jpg) These are the two rear tail lights. I'm not really sure what the error is for that one.

I'm having some problems with the CAD files. I have to use the IGES files because i'm using SW 08 and as you know the files aren't backwards compatible. Ive been trying to open the IGES in my SW and it either crashes, or gives me errors every time i open it. I also have tried opening the IGES in catia but its blank. There is nothing in the tree and nothing in the modeling space. Do you have any ideas of what could be wrong?
Comment Type Custom Gauges 13 days ago:
I know the majority of the RF customers are American but there are some international customers too. So will there be provisions to incorporate the metric system? Such as having an option to get a metric version of those gauges; or having both unit systems on the faces for the speed, pressure and temp? Another thing thats always bothered me, is that it seems by tradition, fuel gauges are marked on a scale of empty to full. I've always wished fuel gauges were scaled by volume. My reasoning is that for people who have multiple vehicles, sometimes you forget which vehicle has which size tank. I also think its easier for when you get gas. My thought process at a gas station is normally; i want 1/2 a tank of gas > this tank has 20 gal > 20gal/2=10gal > the price is $3.00/gal > so i need ~$30. If the fuel gauge has the volume on it already, it cuts out an extra thinking step. I know it might be kinda of a moot point. I also realize fuel gauges are inaccurate anyways so it might be more annoying w/ the volumes scaled. But i thought i'd just bring that into consideration anyways.
