This works great now. I can put a picture of my truck in there, scale right on the monitor and come up with the height dimension for frames for an aeroshell. I will define some stations and use this to make a working design on paper.

maybe you will like to play with equation if it is a NACA airfoil.
NACA airfoil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Is The Air template basis the upper half of a NACA 0025 airfol?
Does this template has almost the same lift (cL, coefficient of lift) than half symetric NACA?
I did some basic calculations on Solidworks CFD Flow Simulation of a wing shapped large van with flat door sides (naca extrusion) went around cd=0.37 (i don't remember lift). FAr better than a a brick shape 3D van but I got very dissapoinnted. I found airfol is very useful, on 2D shape slices to construct a 3D shape. But maybe the 3D rear wake it's wider than taller, so the more important naca shape should be zenital view of the car other than side view if enough air come from under the car to reduce lift or add aerodynamic load.
We are almost at 40ºC here, sorry if overheat some brains as well as mine because Aerodynamics is a hobby for me even in summer. so I'm sorry if there are some mistakes in my words.

First sentence;
Quote:
Ecomodder.com forum users to compate shape
Should be compare.

Second sentence;
Quote:
I am not the autor
Should be author.

Would it be possible to save the completed image? When I try I either get the .png or .jpg image, not both together.

It did work very well, and I need to do some reshaping between 15-35% marks. Just a tad over the line.

Yes, you use the "print screen" command or key to capture what is in the monitor to your clipboard. Open MS Paint or whatever editor you prefer, and paste it in there. Crop it down to what you want, and save as a handy jpg.
Here is an example below.

Print screen key on my keyboard doesn't do anything. Love that pic.

It copies to the clipboard, then you open MS paint, click in the window there and select "paste" from the paint menu. Give it a try.

Ha! I thought that since nothing I could see was happening, that nothing was happening. Thanks, Man.



Worked like a charm.
