3D CAD model YARIS

[NimbleYarisOwner]

Does anybody have a full 3D CAD model of the yaris, including frame?

i suspect toyota keeps this information locked down pretty tight... i'd be supprized if you found an accurate 3d model ...

interesting link... i noticed the file size ranged between 4-15 MB... they dont specify what format the files are in either... im skeptical... the CAD programs im familiar with (inventor, solid works, pro-e, catia... ) have huge files when you use complex shapes and multiple parts...

EDIT:
they do show the file extentions... i dont know what any of them are...

"3ds, 3ds, 3ds, max, max, max, max, lwo, lwo, lwo, obj, obj, obj, xsi, xsi"

Double Triple Edit:

3ds is an autodesk file... i stand corrected!

in their front page inside the 'search' box, click the 'all formats' arrow for the pull down menu, all the programs are listed

yeah it's a pretty cool sight, lots of cools stuff

Mead,

have you downloaded a model from there,
is is pretty accurate as fas as engine placement, underhood layout?

I know someone that has gotten cars off that site (without motors). They are not that accruate and I would not pull engineering data off the dimensions. However models are built by different people and some are nicer than others. HTH

what software will open a 3ds file? why are they so small? 15mb sounds extreemly small for a model of a complete car...
