ha... i was going to mention that jaggie by the front window in your last post, but since your new... JUST KIDDING :-lolare you asking what "I" would do, or what "YOU" should do?here's what i do...I delete the whole nose forward from the door.In top view i make a sphere, same ammount of sides as the fuse.run the Hemishpere rollout up to .500now the dirty work, delete that stray vert in the back of the shpere. now match it up to the fuse alignment is critical. now weld it up.reshape your nose.now i would make a box for each window. all of the windows, you dont want to BOOL twice on one shape.spend some time and get them rotated and placed exactly where you want them. convert one box to Epoly. now attach it to all of your window boxes.convert the fuse to Epoly. with fuse selected add a Boolean operation to the shape. select MOVE/CUT/REFINEthat should do it... you will have some house cleaning to do. Examine EVERY cut, if you see two verts that are too close, just weld them... use good judgement.this is my "Cookie Cutter" method, hasnt failed me yet. :-)joe

Hello JetBlue.I believe Ol'Dawg (:-lol) is right, the way he mentioned is probably the way I'd do it (see, I don't actually do fuses, I stick to making 3d panels) in a fuse.And trust me, he has plenty of experience, just check out his site. So if he says that's the way to do it, then that's the way to do it.By the way, your Bus is looking mighty fine! Of course, little things here and there, but I am gathering from this you are still new to it, right? Great job so far man!If you need more help, just holler.
