      What is the quickest way to make a dimple on a flat surface to represent a rivet head on a model train.

      Thanks

      Charlie

        Not exactly the same, but it might give you an idea: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=335&t=34736
        Or just use textures.

        Comfortably numb...

          Or you could make a component of the rivet, and set it to "Cut opening"...please see attached SKP for a quick and dirty example
