No, I don't want the floating Z. I was talking about doing an extruded cut from the back in towards the front about (.05-.08 in ), reducing the over all thickness of the badge. But now that I think about it this will decrease the outer diameter and it will be too small for the indentation on the bumper.

Yes, I need the feature tree to use CAMworks. I've tried doing it with a parasolid model but the software cant seem to handle it. It's much easier if I can isolate individual features.

and yes, the same rim thickness please.

Alrite, I'll send the files over in a second, I just thought the file size is a little bit for e-mailing because it contains the features.

I modified all the Z emblems, apparently the diagonal chamfer that cuts across the Z logo is 28° not 27°.

But to your request....here's a lower tab...lemme know what you think.


Here's a better view with the contour lines turned on:

If the files are too large don't send them yet. Lets get every thing the way we want it first.

Could you go in between those two examples I'd like to see the crest of the rim all the way around and have the tabs just below it, but not as far as the ones in the example. about half way between the two you've shown please.

So far i'm just using 2 pairs of calipers...but I'm gonna buy myself some fillet gauges and have them shipped to my work. I need more tools, most of it is just by my own gauging....which I don't like. There are places that provide services which scans a 3D model of pretty much anything, the down side is it's ridiculously expensive, plus you don't have any features, you just get an imported model.

I just sent the models over, I didn't quite understand you meant with your previous request. Please advice.

Kevin, I'm interested in your opinion on the new wings/tabs. I'm all for it. For me it's like night and day, it really gets away from the burger look.
