Pathy Dimensions

[unccpathfinder]

ok...being the Enginerd that i am...i want to practice my skills that i've been learning in Catia V5 (3d modeling package) and would like to create the body and then go back and create the frame and possibly suspension and maybe all the parts over time...but it has all kinds of kick ass features (walk through's and what not)

 

i think the models would help me make decisions in things i would like to do...so if any1 knows where there are pretty detailed dimensions that would be great...i have a feeling the tape measure is going to be close to my only option

**VAN and Wagon(Z24) listed in the 1988 FSM, but not the 1995.**

 

Extra note from the 1995 FSM about the Overall length

 

On models with a spare tire carrier, the overall length is increased by the follow-

ing lengths depending on the spar tire.

230 mm (9.1in) for P215/75R15 tires, 260 mm (10.2 in) for P235/75R15 tires,

275 mm 910.5 in) for 10.5R tires.

Thanks...i should have mentioned i had those out of the FSM...

 

I was looking more towards the hood is X long by X wide with X spacing at X angle from horizontal...i was looking over some stuff and i think if i can figure it out i can actually take pictures of the front and sides and import it in and trace the edges then start to create complex surfaces...it should be nice this weekend so i will start pulling measurements and might have to fudge some if i cant figure out that trace function...

 

im going in way over my head on this 1 but i really want to learn the software and do something besides just work with it...

 

today i found where you can actually make walk/fly thrus so i was thinking about modeling my house or an engine and do a fly thru...and if i did an engine create the kinematics...theres just so much work/time in modeling something that complex (engine)

I kinda figured you were looking for more that just that...

 

I guess I have to say Good Luck, because I fear that you are going to need it trying to find the dimensions your looking for

[unccpathfinder]

yea...well it doesnt have to be exact...and since i dont know how to do the complex surfacing yet i think it will be fairly easy to do the rear hatch hood and windshield and possibly the sides excluding the fenders...but im sure with enough time and effort i can make something that represents the pathy pretty closely

hahaha that gave me a good laugh...i wish i knew some1 at nissan that could leak me some iges files or something or even a stp file or anything that catia would read
