Modelling Airplane Fuselage

[alihaider82]

Hi all. I have problem while modelling airplane fuselage. can anyone help me out?
One thing more, that can proe scale a model in one direction only i.e. X (say)

What is the point in scaling and not just modifying dimensions?

I dont know if this can halp you but you can try it...
Try to create your own units in some scale (ratio) and than select whole model and change default units at new units..

Pro/E can only scale xyz at the same time. Rhino and Alias can
scale non proportionaly. However if you use the lattice
structure that I developed (basicly three bounding boxes) you can
adjust the boxes parametricly in separate planes and accomplish the non
proportional scale better than one would in Rhino or Alias or Maya
because... With the lattuce structure way you can maintain wall
thinknesses.



This image is from my plastics workshop. Notice the parting
line. I can look for this model and upload if if you like.

And what about Shrinkage feature? (Edit -> SetUp -> Shrinkage)


In Shrinkage menu select By scaling, select CSYS,


and remove Isotropic checkbox. Fill in Shrink Ratio field for X, Y or Z.


Is this method applicable?

There were similar topic about modeling airplane, check this topic there was a lot useful tips:

In short you must create few fuselage sections, with curves, then create surface with boundary blend, or you can use style.
But if you need to create real fuselage with real parts, then this is a lot of work and it cannot be explained easily in one or few posts.


Hope it helps

This functionality requires one of: Pro/MOLDESIGN Pro/MOLDESIGN-2 Pro/MOLDESIGN Pro/MOLDESIGN-2

the shrinkage worked. nice and cool command...

What about Using Warp and stretch within it ?
