Actually Eric, you don't know just how close you are with that one.
Its nice to see that 'hello kitty' is trying out for the football team. Or is he going to a halloween party as a 'Gladiator' extra? Either way that's just about the only kitten photo that doesnt make me want to puke from its sugary sweet cuteness.

Gidon,
thanks, now that i know how IWM works it makes it easier to do these cut away views for detailed construction sketches.

...and about that Avatar, that photo is about 2 years old back when i was hairy-er and meaner, now the beard is gone along with the mean guy persona(thanks to my girlfriend)but the photo is kind of a reminder.

Very practical and truly 3 dimensional. You said to explode the legs before intersecting with model, so must each object that is going to be intersected with model be a component or a group? Iv also been having some issues with not being able to select a single line after the intersect but instead it selects the whole object. Is this due to not exploding before interesting?

Gidon,
I appreciate your tut on DT's especially the 'intersect with model' function. To me, at least, its a pretty powerful function and I've been trying to use that more in my modeling so its nice to have your tut that uses it.

side note, I checked out your 'display cabinet' thread and not only is that a beautiful cabinet you modeled but by selectively deconstructing it I gained some insight into building cabinets with inset doors. I like your use of an applied filler strip between the doors and an interior shelf on the bottom of the cabinet to stop the door. Thanks, I'll try to incorporate that into my next inset door project

by 'repeat' are you referring to steps 1-10 for each page of the plans by importing an image of each page than scale, trace, copy, layer?
