This took only four hours!

So yeah, I had some time this weekend to kill (and I still have a lot more to kill), and I created this guage cluster in Solidoworks 3D CAD complete with tach, spedo, fuel, temp, oil, and voltage guages. The RN123456 at the bottom would be the gear indicator for a paddle shift tranny. (the 3 is illuminated to show the current gear).

I've had this idea in my head for awhile, and I finnally got around to drawing it out, and I thought I'd share it.

Very nice.. the bottom one though looks really edgy.. but im not going to bitch about it because I dont even know how to do stuff like that so you get nothing but props from me!

Very nice work. Looks pretty good to me. :thumbsup:

Looks like your PC doesn't quite have enough to drive the graphics rendering, which is a pity because there's nothing wrong with your ability to use the software.

Thanks.

The pics you see are actually screen shots from another program called e-drawings. I had to open it with that program because solidworks decided today that it wouldn't open the originial document, possibly because, like you said, the graphics card couldn't keep up.

That would look good on a muscle car or a retro car, like the 05 Mustang. :thumbsup:

Better Yet the Camaro in 2009!

Looks good, I wonder if this could be done with AutoDesk?


Anyways doesn't look like it would be on a muscle car because the cluster looks too compact, fit for an import though.


Still very nice

Woah, thats cool.

thats cool man, so did you spend four straight hours doing it !! ?

impressive solid works work.
