Making parts for FMS with MetasequoiaLE

This is basic technique to make some parts by using Metasequoia.
It is simple and easy.
I think you will be able to make other parts too. 
'Undo' in the panel will be a great help for you in this work.


Tail


 

Open Metasequioa, and select eprimitivef . Click cube icon and create.
Change the command to eMovef and redact it xyz-expand-redact button in the Edit Panel.



Make it wider by x-expand-redact button and make it thinner by y-expand-redact button.


Change the view from the top by F2 key.
Enclose one point as shown bellow and move backward by z-slide button.

   


Symmetrical wing

 

Make a rectangular parallelepiped from a cube as we do making a tail, take a look above.
Cut at several points, some spars will be made.




Select 'Move' and enclose a spar to be shortened. You can select two spars or edges  by using eropef; you can see the way bellow.



And make the spars smaller by y-expand-redact button.



Arrange
other spars.



If you want to make it thinner, enclose all of the wing  and use y-expand-redact bottom.





Flat-bottom wing



You can make a flat-bottom wing by moving some points of upper part of spars.


     

Slide some spars by z-slide button if you need.
