Thank you NeuTechFLA for creating serious projects specifically to share it with other users.
This car has a very streamlined shape with some hard edges. I would not even risk to modeling it with a Shark. It's incredibly interesting to follow the process of your work. I hope that I will learn a lot.

I may have to purchase a new screen video capture software to upload videos of what I am doing. The old version of CamStudio I have exports monstrously large AVI files by default. When compressing them for upload/email, the images are too blurry to see properly. Until then, I will upload static images.

Ha! I refuse to do any Steve Jobs inspired "flying rectangles" ever again in my lifetime! There are days when I want to dig him up a slap him in the head for killing "design" as we know it! Four straight lines with four radii....brilliant. Not!

Yes, it will take some time but I think the more I document/record/share the better off the value of the project. To your point, I will surely document the "zingers" as they bite me.

Thanks for all your help so far. Stay Tuned for GT!

Moving...

Awesome, another project!
This is a screen capture program I occasionally use (link Movavi Screen Capture)
It can also record and show keystrokes in the bottom left corner of the screen.

You can export whatever quality you like
( link Example of Movavi output)

I had to go two versions back. I found it was a surface trim that was preventing the modification.

Build/Delete/Build Again is simply the Old School waters in which this Shark swims. I do not see another method lurking within the code to fundamentally change the way it does business. The added "New School" hurdle is the need to remove links. If I had to guess, I would say something related to the integral associative links/relationships that was added to the software years ago has created these ghosts hiding under the bed.

Again, without a fundamental code change...I don't see that going away. You are not mad in the least but it's maddening for certain.

What's needed? Hmmm... Visual is always good. In addition, it would be nice to get a clue where the stumbling block is within the model (I.E. Concept Explorer, on the model in the work area, pop up window, etc...) Something that provides specific areas to focus on instead of the guessing game. Tell me to look "THERE" for my issue.

Another cool thing in CREO (sorry to keep using this an the benchmark) is when a relationship goes pear shaped due to a regen, the surfaces will turn blue and the model tree items red. It's immediately identifiable where the problem is in the model.

So far so good.... I am learning more and more with each day.

And, I need to develop my belt line highlight a bit more crisply. My surface is too "soft". Look at the crisp horizon highlight on the red car above. Mine is not correct yet.
