In other words, in order for my full scale model to be the same size as the original one, what measuring unit calculation must i do ? Thanks, Hi Tom,

Maybe this page : http://auto.howstuffworks.com/ariel-atom3.htm Basically the box shape is used to provide support for the radiator & fan. The pointy nose just hides it. @John

Got it most of the way done, according to the wireframe Blender model. However, are you sure this is the one you used for the vehicle? It seems as though the front is really box-ey, as opposed to the pointed nose on the real model. Hey Tom,

I know inventor well so would like to stick with it, any other suggestions? Thanks Thank you for the advice, i have tried as directed however autodesk inventor fails to open the .obj file.

Once installed, open my 3D model with it and immediately export it as an .obj file. Menu File, Export, Wavefront (.obj) It's a de facto standard format for data exchange between 3D software. Or, if you don't know Inventor and have to learn it, you may consider learn Blender instead. <a href="#comment-5167" rel="nofollow">@aerial </a> Sorry for the late reply. Yes you can measures angles and lengths, you should refer to Blender documentation about the following features : "Edge length" and "Edge angles". You'd better to use the wireframe sketch of the chassis to do so. @Dan Hammond

Is there any chance of someone converting it as i have tried and failed due to lack of knowledge.
