Porsche Look Alike
One of my young private students (18 years old) built a car that roughly resembled a Porsche. It was a pretty poor quality model, but the body sides were really good surfaces. I wanted to encourage him to continue the model, as telling him to scrap it would have just crushed his spirits, so I decided to set him the task of stage by stage developing it by adding detail. Today I have been putting some real Porsche Carrera Special Body Kit details in around the sill and air intake. It’s been a roller coaster of a day. I did all the work once and then because I have been using (YES!!!!) Autodesk v.2010 and I didn’t understand that it wasn’t remembering my preferences (my 60-70 hot-keys) I stupidly closed the application and clicked don’t save (as I had already depressed Ctrl+S), so that’s how I lost half a day’s work. I had been saving with the hot-keys for hours, but I failed to check that the new set-up was working first. Even with several years experience when you let your concentration lapse, it can cost you dearly.Normally I save my models as a new file at least once per day and by the end of the project I might have 30+ versions of the Exterior. I often import components from older files if I have messed something up. But the BEST PRACTICE is to save regularly. You avoid so many heart breaks.________________________________________________________________
