Default Some AutoCAD models

I've been so bored waiting for my new carpet set so I've been playing around in AutoCAD modeling stuff...


I did a c4 ( well it's not complete ).

I used a diecast model to make it since C4s are the easiest vettes to models ( not that many curves.

I'm gonna do a c3 soon, with every thing even the interior. I'm just waiting to get good at cad first.

here's the c4 and a crappy door **** I tried to make :

fauxrs, that unzips as a 3D Studio Max file (.max). Acad 14 won't open. Do you have a STEP or IGES?

Nice shark

I'm planning to do mine too, but EVERY piece by piece. Everytime I fix/ do something I'm gonna build it with a caliper to make sure it's perfect.

It didn't convert. Those of us who have AutoCAD still aren't able to open this file, much as we would like to! I would hold out more hope if the file ended in "dwg."
