so, having a difficult time converting everything to .igs format. apparently it won't hold a mesh. I wanted to use that because I have always had good luck with the format before. I am using rhino CAD but the idea is to use a open/universal format or would .3dm format work well for everyone?
let me know your thoughts.

i installed freecad and open techpod very well,
i also exported stl to sketchup and open it too (but a litle heavy in sketchup)
i have rhino V4SR4, it's also ok or do you use a newer version?
If the format causes problems for anyone let me know and we can work something out.
Hello Wayne
i check the igs files it s ok for the FCStd file i dont have the plugin for solidwoks but because i have already design more less a part of your plane to implement atmospheric research sensors it is less important for now. I will chexk how to import later...
I will present the work done in ISARRA2014 conference ( http://isarra.org/index.html) i will put the link in my slide if you agree. I will have a poster in other conference in france i will put the link too.
A+

you have my 100% support. Stephan showed me some of your renderings, very cool. can't wait to see the results.
Ok the files are up at grabcad for now.

I cant use .3dm. Im using inventor is that going to be a problem?
stl is pretty much the standard for "surface parts"
Files are uploaded in freecad format.

Hello everybody
So personaly i have already the techpod re_design in solidworks to be able to modify it using 3D printers for atmospheric research (and i can use catia too) . After for the format files if we can import it ... but i use normaly step files.

So I have it exported into freecad. that way everyone can have access to the files. I am headed to bead. I still have more to do. I have to make sure I include all the proper notifications etc and find a place to host it. probably on hobbyuav.com.
