Line up the posi-
tion and size of
the panel.
4. Select the B panel mesh, and scale and position it in
the front view to line up with the B panel of the real
wagon in the front reference plane, as shown in
Figure 6.61.
5. To make the curvature of the B panel at the front of the
wagon, use the Wedge procedure you used in the hand
exercise in Chapter 4. First, look at the end face of the
B panel. You need to split that into two faces for a
proper Wedge.
6. Select Edit Mesh Split Polygon Tool. Click and drag
a point on one edge of that end face to put it at exactly
50 percent, as shown to the left in Figure 6.62. Release
the mouse button to place the point, and then click
and drag the opposite edge to place the other point for
the new edge also at 50 percent as shown on the right in Figure 6.62. Notice that the
readout in the very bottom-left corner of the UI shows the percentage as you drag the
point on either edge, also shown in the bottom-left corner of both sides in Figure 6.62.

Edge to enter Edge Selection mode. With the Shift key
depressed, Shift+select that new middle edge, as shown
in Figure 6.63.
