Well I had some major setbacks unfortunately the model I had used as a base for the shooter lane and other standard stuff like the holes under the apron (metal piece at the bottom of the games where your ball drains through and a new one pops out of) was measured wrong and by a significant margin so I had to restart that and try to work from a different file type to try to create one that has unfortunately a lot less that I can reuse meaning I had to remeasure and remodel a lot of that myself and then reposition everything I had already put on their. At least I had the shapes of inserts already and obviously me CAD skills have improved a lot so it was fairly doable. I learned my lesson I guess 🤷♂️. I also quickly threw together some more groups of inserts that will go in soon.
I finished modeling the last rounded rectangle along with some more complicated shapes I will need in the future then designed the layout (for the map not the shots) and added some inserts to the map as well as putting some in the inlanes though those were easy next up is adjusting a couple of other positions since I screwed up my side rail measurements (they should be 3/4 and I though they were 1/2 inch).
Working on modeling holes for the inserts it was coming along well though I did have some problems with onshape not liking some of the file types I was giving it. The labels on the circles are kind of hard to read but basically tell me what diameter it is so I don’t use the wrong one. One more to go thats a 1 1/2 by 1 5/8 rectangle but I’m definitely getting much faster.
