Nice design. Clean and simple.

Look at your curved edges on the top and bottom however. There is some strange geometry going on.

Yeah, I fixed that. Also reversed faces (attached "version"). Nice design, truely. Thanks for sharing.

I wonder however why the file size grew that considerably?! I didn't add anything - as a matter of fact, there are about a dozen lines less in the geometry.

Gaius,
I ran a "purge all" and the file dropped to 87 KB. There was one style not being used - the styles can very quickly bloat your models - even to the point of not being usable. The Purge All Script is available here http://forum.sketchup.com/showthread.php?t=78887&highlight=Purge+All
Written by TIG and it rocks so hard - you don't even know. Thanks again TIG!

Sure I didn't purge anything at all and didn't check styles either (actually I don't use styles too much therefore I'm never too much aware of them).

Thanks for the tip though!

I don't know how that happened. I originally drew it in AutoCAD and brought it into SketchUp. Must be a CAD thing. I need to learn more about this stuff.

Is there anyone out there that also uses AutoCAD to draw the geometry?
