Im looking for a 12" 3 blade boat propeller just for show on a model, any ideas where i can get hold of one

I don't know my mouse from a hole in the ground about prop design and this is
more a quickie exploration into a function than trying to make a sumpinlykit.
Hope'ly you can import, spin a suitable hub on it and find use. You might
search the archives for "prop". I know there have been some native IV's posted.
(I used to have a couple but would be hard pressed to dig them up.)

That's pretty cool. I'll someday learn to use functions like that (I've only been on IV a few months)

But I've been around boat design for a while. I haven't tried them, but at http://www.boatdesign.net/gallery/index.php/cat/3053 there's a bunch of nautical models available in various formats.

There is a 3-blade prop at http://www.boatdesign.net/gallery/data/3054/2763blade.stp

Hope it's of some use.

Hope IV has functions like that someday. My attempts in IV took hours (much of
which was "how do I", some of which was spent trying to get a closer
simpinlykit), that was minutes.

Thanks for the links. I'll take a gander.

If you want an .ipt file so you can see some ways that props are drawn in
IV look at the November 2004 WC solutions at
