[QUOTE="Naughty_Finger, post: 363183, member: 8026"] I purchased Bendtech-Pro to design Naughty Finger and to be honest its a good program, the tutorials are a little lacking and when I set out to start designing I was lost. Where to begin? I entered my material and tools but when it came to using the program and actually designing it was frustrating to say the least. I did some research and found a website where fabricators share files. There were a couple chassis on there but none excited me. After lots of fumbling around I finally figured it out. My design is not done but I did figure out how to do it. For those thinking about designing and building a buggy for the first time I am gonna help you out. In the next day or so I am going to create a kind of tutorial using software I have that enables me to record my screen and add narration.I am not a pro by any means but maybe seeing some of the challenges I am facing, how I use the program and all that crap will help others. I have seen some awesome build threads but never seen one that shows how they started from a computer created design. I will do multiple videos so I can break it up in parts. The biggest and single most important thing I learned is find some rigs and measure everything! Everyone knows to measure the basics like wheelbase, length, cab with etc. But also measure things like engine length, tranny length, tcase length, distance from front of engine to tcase mount, engine height, rear sump distance from front of engine, engine width, tcase width, distance between front edge of seat and firewall, distance between seat and roof and the list goes on and on. It ends up being more math and dimensions than anything else. [/QUOTE]
