anything new in this topic?

[sherly]

I've just had a read through this thread - what would people want to use the CAD information for?

I'm assuming it'd be helpful for designing spaceframes and mocking up engine conversions for example, or is it just a "lets see if we can do it" exercise? I'm guessing the accuracy won't be good enough to get any workable data for doing the above though.

I've just signed up to www.smcars.net and I'm well impressed with some of the renderings on there - a good surfacing package would be needed to generate anything close to the real thing.

I'm up for modelling some mini panels in Solidworks just to see how I get on - although I'm sure it's not a good enough package to use from a surfacing point of view.

some more uni stuff as of present, no more, exams in a week!!

maybe getting yourself a better package woud hel^p?

Im going to start a topic in "Mini Chat" for CAD users to list what packages they can use. I too use Pro Engineer AutoCad but mainly use Solidworks. IGES and other file formats are ok between packages but asI found they loose dimensions and contraints and can quite easily fall apart! Anyone work for a company with translators?

That's amazing! I Use 3D CAD At Work, But Nothing On That Scale...

[MiniDude]

Hello everyone! Just joined, but maybe I can help! I use Alias AutoStudio as Im in uni studying car design; now for one of my projects last year I made a 3D model of a mini! If anyone would like certain screen shots, or has the programme to use the file, maybe I could sort something out!

Edit: Also, if you are looking for blue prints, check out: 'onnovanbraam.com' theres a link bottom left to the blueprints! Also have a look at some of this guys CAD models, absolutely stunning!!

All i can find on the net is very basic blue prints. Have any of you got blue prints of a space frame/ or shell of any mk of mini (up to 2000)?

Any help would be ace, thank you

In answer to the original question, I doubt there is much information freely available, there are a few people on here that would do the CAD info for you (myself included) but it would take alot of time and therefore would have to cost some moolah I'd think.

Can anyone help me

I am designing a new alloy rear beam type axle, fabrication of it is not a problem, the problem is i can draw it on paper but i was thinking on the lines of my pc. i have autocad 2005 but havnt got a clue how to work round it.
will it take me a long time to learn how to do a simple drawing with cad or will it be easier with paint

i was thinking more of the 3d views cheers for any help

That muddy Mini is AMAZING! Couldnt believe it was a computer done image and not a photo.

A couple of screen dumps of 3D DXF files I got from another site. Not 100% accurate but certainly not bad!!!

Here's a few pics of the CAD model I did a few months ago! Its not finished yet, quite a bit needs doing, but its coming along ok!

[liam_italian]

well i've managed to get a hold of a trial version of 3ds max 8. so im gonna give makin a mini a go, it's gonna take a while tho because i plan of making the shell first, so that everything else is interchangable on the mesh to make different styles of minis!

[roofless]

has this gone completely stale ? did anyone get any autocad drawings produced ?

Personally I'm looking for a set of drawings that i could use to strike off for a space frame.

any thing anyone has would be very gratefully received.
