Yale commissioned me to design the PZL-15 Belphagor jet biplane. After 4 Rhino crashes, 2 laptop crashes and a system restore in just 4 hours of working on it, I'm raising the white flag. No other model has given me as much trouble as this one. Some models put up too much of a fight resisting being designed. I hope you have a secondary model you want designed Yale.

Darn it, that was on my list too. Just another example of Murphy's Law, I guess.

I think somebody cursed the plane. i never even saw plastic models while I was researching it.

No plastic models you say?

Actually, that's a homebuilt flying model. The only plastic model I could find was a 1/200 one designed to be 3D printed from Shapeways. And it says it's not entirely accurate.

Anyways, just to relax, I thought I'd try something a tad less weird:

Aaron, perhaps is it something that demands it be done as component "models"? It seems all CAD software has configurations that will throw a loop on the monkey barrel - if you know what I mean. These 'glitches' come about because a specific - very specific - user input/combo causes it to blow up. Makes me think of a leaking inner tube - hard to find so it can be patched...

So, my idea is, if the issue is caused by something in the object *in its entirety*, perhaps doing it as separate pieces (boom, upper wing, lower wing, etc.) can get it to work, or at least isolate the specific part that is screwing up Rhino so you can effectively troubleshoot the glitch.

Of course, you've probably already considered this...;^P
