Necessity is the Mother of Invention

Salute, All !!!

This may seem a little odd, but:

I am sketching out the design of a telescope mounting. I needed some graph paper, a compass, protractor, ruler and a sharp pencil with eraser. Then it hit me. I have all of those tools aboard my U-Boat !!!

So I started a new career, left the boat in port and scrolled out to the Bay of Biscay and made my sketches !! :D

The lengths are not precise, but they are good enough to work out a cut list of the wood pieces !!!

Good 'ol SH3, more than just a simulation !!!

I'm not sure to have understood what you explained... So let me restate it: are you telling us that you used the map and map tools in SHII like a CAD software!!??? :huh:

This is... well certanly "inappropriate" but in a sense... truly brillant!! :salute:

Ok... Here it is. The scope is a 22" f4.6 which will be mounted on a Alt/Azimuth (Dobsonian) Rocker. The three views are showing the scope pointing straight up, horizontally, and 45 degrees. The inner circle is the altitude bearing (28"diameter) and the large circle is the "swing arc" of the tube. It indicates that the side walls of the rocker box will be 20 inches tall. Thanks for the SOLID EDGE info, millemaker !!! I will look into that. Salute, and Starry Skies !!
