Ok, so I want to cut out a cockpit, to place my readymade part into (I made the cockpit as a separate model) but I can't figure out how. Obviously, I need to make certain polygons extrude into the fuselage, but how do I do that? No luck with the help on that one... Roll Eyes

Apparently, fsds and I have a different definition of extrude. What they call extrude, I would call extend. I have no idea what they call what I want...

In Gmax you can extrude inward by entering a negative value into the extrude box. I don't even know if FSDS has this though so I guess I can't answer your question.

In Fsds you extrude from a created template.

To accomplish the same thing, you create a copy of the part and flip all polygons, then scale it slightly "inwards."

The tedious part is creating the 'filler' polygons.
