Gentlemen - thank you for your response(s)
To date this is what I have done w/ V 10 -
A. 3d object - Hz slab - 4 1/4 x 22 1/2 x 1 1/2 ...
B. 3d object - Hz slab - 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 1 1/2 - add 3 voids
C. 3d object - Vt. cyl - dia @ 2 1/2 - depth 1 1/2 inside voids
D. 3d object - Hz. polygon at Z hth - 3 point triangle at void edge
E. add vertex to contour of cylinder
F. copy object to Z base - mirror object/copy
G. 3d object - Hz.l cylinder at 1/8 radius ... copy a bunch/rotate&copy at 90 degrees ... model vent screen ...
H. Off to O2c - textures - voila !!!
Did D/L V-12 and dabbled w/ Boolean ... need a little more study - but seemed like it behaves somewhat like what happens when you copy several contiguous 3d objects - they "group" and can be moved as a single object - just guessing here ...
Will dabble w/ SU ... also - but I needed to get done ...
Thanks again
Tigere
