I don't know (sorry)
but "creat the fream" is going to be my catchphrase from now on!!

Maybe someone has a better method but I do this.
We've some surface, let say a wing

:

and I'd like a former in the middle. I add a surface:

I trim that surface to get the correct shape. From that surface I extract the edge curves:

Using the offset curve command I reduce the size in .2 o .3 mm.

That works for me.

As a lot of things you've a lot of different approach here but because you're designing a paper model I think the best way is to design directly in the desired scale. You need to know if a piece is .01 mm wide.

For that you setup a "box" in Rhino with the measures of your future model: width, height and length. You design your model in that cage so when you export the model it's right on the correct size.

Look for tutorials to put blueprints and 3d view as guides on Rhino and how scale them correctly.

If you can afford it a very good starting point is:

Where Roman show the complete workflow to make a model.

Ok thank u very mach. Any way u can explain me the way i put the blueprint in the right scale? As i remmber i scal the blue print in phooshop to the model size. Than i just open it rhino let say the model is 45.5 cm mybe my mistick is that i put the model for 45.5 mm?
