[Bf-education] Beginners question 2nd

[John R. Nyquist]

Lol, it is an honor when Ton pipes in! But thank you, I'm glad my tutorials
were useful for you  :)

You could model parts individually (using #2 point which Roger kindly
clarified),and bring them in via linking (not append). Convert them to a
proxy object (CTRL-ALT-P) so you can scale/rotate/move. Maybe I should do a
BoB on this. Then you could update the parts as you like and build a library
of .BLEND files for parts.

Regards,
John
