Lately, I've been using Super Glue Gel for some projects. The stuff binds well, and won't run like most glues do.
Keep up the great work! |

I've just lost all my data, hard drive is completely crashed. Model cannot be finished until I find a temporary PC where I can re-model the entire oculus ribs before passing them to the scale I'm working.
In the meantime I'll finish the terraces, after the project will go on-hold and my free time will be destinated to work at a proper job. Hopefully I'll get a new PC (this time a Dell Workstation) by the end of the year.

Aw, I'm sorry Otie...
 Does that mean you lost your renderings too? Is it possible to send it to get repaired or they could try to back up the files? This is terrible!

Everything's lost, renderings, models, plans, diagrams, everything. Any attempt to recover the data would cost me $1000USD and there's no warantee I could ever recover anything.
HP pcs are orientated for home and small office costumers, my insistence of running complex and demanding programs over an entertainment laptop caused the failure of the graphic card and, more recently, the hard drive. All models are gone, so I'll start clean when I get a new -this time industrial type- pc. First step is to get $1,600USD

I'm not. I've got the April backup files, which is most of the drawings, I just need to restart the research work and recover the missing drawings and information.
Besides, having broken my only laptop forces me to get the money as fast as possible. New desktop will be capable of handling what I've been wishing for so long: CGI animations You'll be amazed of what can do 3Ds Max, vRay, After Effects and others when you mix them properly.

That reminds me, maybe I should back up my laptop for the first time in a half a year. Good thing that you still have your drawings. my laptop is a 6 year old Dell, I'm planning on upgrading in spring 2013 [It's indestructible]. Also, since you are getting a desktop, I recommend buying an external hard drive from Western Digital and setting it up to back up constantly so that if this happens again, you won't have to worry. On an optimistic note, I've started from scratch on my 1WTC model 3 or 4 times and each time I've fixed something that I knew was wrong but didn't fix on the previous model because i didn't want to have to edit all the surrounding parts. good luck with the new computer.

^I'm thinking of using the internal SSD drive for programs and such while an external hard drive for photos, models and documents This will help run smoothly everything at anytime. Right now I'm stuck on a dilemma, either buy a Dell Precission or build myself my own computer (even if I have to read extensive guides to understand how this stuff works).
Keep up with the great work PMad, your perceptible hunger for accuracy and detail makes your work stand out above any aviable model!

Has there been any more progress? I was following this thread with great enthusiasm.

I haven't abandoned this project at all, and I won't. Currently my time is being consumed by school and job projects, on free time I've been working on a new 3D model (this one is ~99% accurate to the real life structure) using the plans. The whole thing is actually pretty complicated, for instance each of the ribs main vertices have a 0.00000' value on x, y and z axes, and since SketchUp can handle only the first 0.0000 digits the model isn't 100% accurate.

Everytime I see this wings, it reminds me Lyon Saint Exupery Airport (by Calatrava too).
Good work Otie! |

Beautiful. I wish I understood all that computer modeling jargon.

Easy way: prints give me the numbers for an accuracy of 0.0003mm while the program can handle an accuracy of 0.03mm. The gap left is barely noticeable to the human eye, but you know, someone who has an engineering personality will always aim for extreme precission.

Yep, I can relate. Also, Ottie must have some friends in really high places, or its out there and I'm too busy to look. I don't want anything to do with modeling the hub. I'll stick with T1 and perhaps T3, if I can find time to look at the KPI records for the core and filler beam layout. That's some amazing work, it that what the tips look like or are they more hemispherical? I'm guessing they're too small to see from the ground, but I'm curious.
