No I did individual configured parts

IC. You model looks great. You ought to check out weldments. Ive done it both ways and prefer weldments. you can even create tin outline and draw it with a sketch line. Its a powerful sw feature.

I never did post an almost finished picture. I have been using and enjoying it but I still have some grading and gravel work to do.
