CAD work a'plenty

Detailed design work continues, boring though it is. Actually, it's not that boring, but does take time. The overall design is pretty much finalised, so now I need to make sure the whole thing will actually fit together.

The area we will be covering in this episode boys and girls, is the steps/ramp/sides of the trailer. As you will note, the previous problem of a wheel just sticking through the side of the opened door is gone. It will now be covered mostly by the steps, and partly by a small door which needs to be there so that when open, the wheel has a normal wheel-well sides space surrounding it.

The pics are a little tricky to interperate at the moment since I have yet to differentiate between different panels, so it just looks like one big white sheet. Still, it gives an idea.
Also the trailer now has a more sensible front, removing the likelyhood of chopping people's legs off if they happen to be in the way. And it looks better too.
More soon . . .
