Making intersections of CAD plane for hot wire plans

[agupt108]

How do you intersect the cad plane and use those to make hot wire plans? Thank you! Also, I recently got the medium thickness landing gear from FT store. It is very hard to bend it with pliers; any tips?

It's not clear to me that those images are an actual 3D CAD model. They appear to be simply images off the Internet. You would also have to tell us which CAD software you use. Maybe @FlyerInStyle knows that you use Fusion360. I certainly don't. If you are trying to find pictures on the Internet of your choice of plane, you need all three views as a minimum. Side, top and front. The three views you show (alone) do not show the details necessary to get the fuselage stations. For instance I got lucky doing one for an F-23 Black Widow... and used CAD to make the stations...

You might do a Google search like: "Messerschmitt Bf109 blueprints" and find images that have stations already drawn up.

A 2-minute search and I found this link for your plane - https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=4577

I am using fusion 360 and using a 3d-cad for the bf109 from grabcad.com. Thank you!
