OpenHornet MCAD Model

These links will allow you to download a local copy of the OH MCAD model, for reference or so you can modify things for your personal pit. If you would like to contribute to the raw MCAD, talk to Noctum in the OH Discord. You will need to prove a basic level of proficiency and be known within the discord community before access will be granted.

[!NOTE] These links will download the latest & greatest (most likely in development and unstable) MCAD. Always verify fusion parts against release package manufacturing files prior to use, and they are used at the user's own risk.

• Top Level - This is HUGE. Consider downloading individual consoles instead.
• Upper Instrument Panel (UIP)
• Lower Instrument Panel (LIP)
• Left Console (LC)
• Right Console (RC)
• Center Tub (CT)

Branches

• master branch is the stable release branch which represents the last release.
• develop is the latest working branch that will become the next release. It may or may not be functional as is.
