I thought someone else would chime in with your other request of converting Axis into Sketch, but if you could convert that is essentially a 3d Sketch, request that I would like as well.
Back on-line. Thanks, everybody, for all thoughts! I found it very interesting.
I had this (unsymmetrical) gearbox slightly out of CC some 5mm (dunno how). With thousands of merged history steps (including clutch, engine and register). The only straight part was the ending cylinder.
(moved exaggerated for clarity)
Needed to get it back to the engine camshaft cc. I solved it almost like Mike (but flipped the sketch instead of the plane). I can now comfortably draw the conclusion that there is no quick fix (that I missed). Bob’s even more complicated and elegant solution works well - if you have the patience, that is.

I remember you were working on an car, so I imagined an V engine, looks great.
Only a L-Head (straight-six) side-valve
92 h.p. 175 cu. in. (2,9L)
Manual 3 speed with optional overdrive

Most impressive!
Is the serial number on the side of the block legit?
Thank You!!
(IMHO, from Mike The Man)
Indeed, it is valid!
I started out with the frame and then chassi, but then (resorted to being) focused on the engine et al., as I had to make it fit to the frame perfectly.
For the moment, I am fighting with the engine print 1:25,4 SLA (it is soo minuscular) to fit in the (soon to be ready) frame and chassi FDM.
It is a challenge to make all measurement work when dealing with recursively IRL instead of a dreaming up a product. (The spark-plug wire loop almost killed me… the way I choose to do it.)

I will work my way backwards later, when finished with the complete print, and do all the inner working from outside in, all nuts and bolts. Ready 2030.
The quest for me is to do this exclusively in Shapr3D (as a challenge); in my ‘real work’ I use the combo of Fusion, FormZ, Blender, Strata among others to get what I need; nothing does it all.
I learn so much (of S3D), squeezing this in to one environment and it is hours of FUN!

Thank you for the comment.
What can I say. I am totally blown away as to your attention to detail! Kudos!, Bravo!, etc.
Best of luck with the finished project. You must share upon completion.
Regards, Mike
