OK, good. Glad it worked out. Odd.

Good. Windows ia easy to blame :D



I finally got around to hunting up a link for the "profiles" stuff we talked about.

It's not the best tutorial that I've ever seen, but it's better than anything I've come up with.

I think I'll look at a fairly simple fender and see how it goes. Technically, I see it pretty clearly, but it's still going to take some thought to get the curves "looking right".

I have a BSA wheel modeled in Pro/Engineer, but I don't know what format I could export to that would let you use it in Sketchup...
