Tacoma 3D cad files?

I made it in inventor 2014, i could save you a .stp file if you want

 

Not sure...just know that it handles huge simulations...im a CAD user, not so much hardware savy

 

Ya i have inventor too so could you pm me the native file and .stp just in case? Appreciate it!!

 

start at the beginning of this thread and youll find the link to the HUGE iges file that I am trying to get to work...almost successfule...but sounds like you have more power at you finger tips than I do.

 

Dowloaded, I'm gonna try it on my system and see what happens.

My computer might be busy for a while lol

 

Fair enough, my system isn't bad but it is by no means a super computer. Let's see what happens.

 

Man its funny on these forums you spend so much time trying to find a link or better yet someone just says, i got it on Amazon...and you spend hours trying to find it. Im blind man i cant find the link in 3 pages of posts lol

 

im not sure how to send files in a pm, how do you do it? or if you wanna pm me your email i can send it there

 

No worries, heres my email, bobproduckshunz@gmail.com its just a spammer internet email i use so no need for a pm. thanks man!

And for anyone looking for that IGS file i found the damn link: https://www.tacomaworld.com/out/?ur...0ByAHxCrW_caRM3QxQ2xkT2xRa2c/edit?usp=sharing

 

Welp after a few hours with this crummy file i say its corrupt or was junk from the start. Who really saves files in IGES of that size? My guess is this file was made in the artistic/graphic side of 3d models, meaning it was meant for show and only that. Ive worked with over 2 gig cad assemblies and ran fine but we would never save in IGES thats a big no no unless of course this came from the artistic side of things. Anyways to conclude this, were not going to get much useful 3d models to work with, without either manually scanning/measuring each major component or have an ex engineer at Toyota hook us up with some prints. Good luck! I do plan on making an accurate model of the 05+ frame and bed and maybe cab someday. Till then were stuck in the mud here. Ill update yall when i get around to modeling those components.

 

im down for this, gonna start the interior with the seat mounting holes this weekend

 

As I've said before: The only accurate model of this truck exists with Toyota, and they're never giving it up.

Anything you find on the internet should be considered untrustworthy.

 

Correct but these days we do have the tools to reverse engineer what Toyota created. We physically have the trucks in front of us, just nobody wants to take the time to measure and model the parts most useful, frame, cab, bed etc. For my design purposes and im sure for many a decent frame model and bed model will go along ways for future modders.

 

I've modeled the parts of the bed that pertain to what I make for it, but that's as far as it went.

 

What parts did you get to?

 

Just parts of the bedsides that I use for modeling my bed rack, side rail cap, outboard bike mount, and hi rise crossbars.

 

Gotcha

 

It's frustrating to find a decent 3D Model of the Tacoma. Imagine what open source options could be created if vehicle makers would share some 3D data to facilitate designers. Look at QNAP servers. This company took off like a rocket because they embraced the sharing philosophy.

 

I tried transmagic, Okino, CASCADE, Inventor, CATIA, Solidworks and AB viewer. The only one that gave me a lead on what this file was (Garbage) was Okino. In Okino the software of origin looks like TurboCAD. That being said we can be rest assured that anything related to the automotive world being linked to TurboCAD is basically inaccurate and garbage even if it could be translated.

 

I'm a drafting student at my local community college, and working on a project involving my 2011. Is there anyway you could share that file?
