disclaimer, getting started

Ok, so I'm going to start doing a step by step on how to design a f1 car in Catia. This has been for the last year, and will continue to be a huge learning adventure. This tutuorial is for a novice, I make no representation of being a f1 surface engineer.

Also, please remember, I am making no attempt to design a real formula one care. The goal of this exercise is to make a 1:20 scale model, that could be manufactured and assembled. I'll be designing this in 1:1 scale to give the greatest accuracy and flexibility with the goal of shrinking it to 1:20 later.

I was stuck for a long time, because I couldn't figure out how to do what I wanted to do. This tutorial kick started me. Worth taking a look at:
