   Hi there, I'm working on this London double decker bus http://www.2shared.com/uploadComplete.jsp?sId=FHXJHqoO0Vbhh6WS

Unfortunately there are much things that I am not able to do, and I've got lots of problem trying to sort everything out. I really need some help and I would be more than grateful if anyone of you can help me because I'm really struggling to finish the bus (which has to be done by Sunday) :S

Cheers from Spain :-)

	Can you provide us with a list of the things you have to do and where you need the help? You have left it kind of opened ended at the moment. I could think of a dozen things right off the bat without a moments hesitation. It looks like the bus is 3D. Did you use surfaces or solids?

	Hi John. The whole bus is a solid done (with extrusion) and we have added materials (such as translucent crystal) with surfaces. -We are struggling to get all the crystals right. -We can't copy the headlight on the front side (we have one but we can't copy it onto the other side). - We are also really having problems trying to "empty" the inside part and putting the "floor". -We can't also give thickness to the windows. I think that is pretty much it, we are working really hard on the project, it's our first one with autoCAD but it's becoming so frustrating... I wonder if I could get a little help, you'd really make my day.

	If you reorient/relocate your UCS you can mirror the headlight to the other side of the bus. You can create a void inside the bus by subtracting another solid. Then you can create a floor and use the union command to attach it to the rest of the bus. You can use the extrude command to give thickness to a window. It sounds like you are applying materials. Is that right? Materials can be applied to individual objects or they can be assigned to a layer.
