How do you model your frames?
I'm getting ready to do some design work and I'm considering what the best way to model a tube chassis is. I could model each tube as a separate part and then put them all together in an assembly. Or I was thinking I could draw the whole frame as one part and then do different drafting views of each "plane" in order to get accurate prints. I think I'd like an individual file for each tube to make it easier to keep track of everything but I don't know if that'll cause headaches some other way. What do you guys think? I'm using UG NX5 but have access to SolidWorks also.
