I’ve recently downloaded a cockpit and need to put a front and back panel on it, I was wondering if there’s an easy way to do so. By the way, the cockpit is a mesh.
A bit of a work-around:
- sub-select the mesh faces that border the the outer edge where you want to have a new panel.
- Copy those faces in place.
- Convert to NURBS (MeshToNurbs) [if your model is light, you could skip step 1 and 2]
- join the edges of the surfaces that border the outer edge.
- close this new curve with lines which will be the borders of your panel
- use the MeshPolyLine command to make a mesh of this closed curve
Note: I don’t normally work with meshes - perhaps somebody has an easier way of doing this.
Note: I’ve created a wish item that would make it possible to just select the edges of the border mesh faces and join those into a polyline right away. That would simplify the process.
Hi @wim,
It looks like Mikko fixed this.

Please test it when the build comes out next week.
Please mark it fixed if it is.
Thanks,
