Just tought I'd post some pictures of a chop that I knocked up during "down time" at work. It was started on ACAD 2004 and finished in 2007.

Coooolllll.........impressive details.
Finish it with 2008, render with GI and final gather turned on, you will get two thumb up!

How you made the gas tank? it's solid or surface?
How big the file size?

The fuel tank is a solid created by using profiles and then lofting between them. That took some serious head scratching and re-drawing to get the shape right. The finished drawing is a bunch of x-refs.Each x-ref is quite large due to the complexity and materials.

Thank god it only scratch,not cut your head. I know it's difficult, that's why I don't like to draw any vehicle................

This is maybe a stupid question for a long time user like me, but it's not a joke.
What's is an X-ref? How can we create it? If we use x-ref, is it more easier to handle a large size drawing?

Xref is an alias for "External Reference".
Simply put, It is a separate drawing file you use to reference into another drawing.

Allot of times; used for as "model files" and they get referenced into "plot sheets".

It does cut down the "plot sheet" drawing file size because most of the geometry is a separate file only being refereneced.

Look in you AutoCAD's 'help menu, search for "xref" and read all about it.
