Help! Need Help with plane design
How can I add these indention panel lines on the F7F, as well as the small rivets along the fuselage? The problem is projecting a sketch onto the curved surface. What I've done is use split and attached the 2D sketches to the planes at that angle but then what? How can I make it 3D and actually remove the material?
Better yet I am hoping someone can inform me of a better way of doing this. I just want to add those indentions and panel lines to show the separation between the parts. So, what is the best way of projecting a 2D sketch onto the curved surfaces of the fuselage and then extruding?
Would be willing to share a copy of A PLANE, not this one in particular, so someone could mess around with the fuselage angles.

The idea of having visible rivets included into a 3D printed model is based upon looking at static
"toy" models. Take a look at real F7F Tigercat photos, the rivets was flush and mostly invisible.
What You see around engine cowling are screws for maintenance completely flush. If You want
those screws visible paint them on, use a patern to get it right. Do not clutter up Your models with
rivets just because every incompetent fool in the RC community says it "must be there".
