Hello all,

I'm working on my next CSG project trying to achieve a fairly realistic 
flat-bladed screwdriver.
I'm having trouble getting the blade right.
I'm posting scene file for any of those willing to take a gander at and
make some suggestions...
Thanks in advance.

Daniel,

It looks like you're working too difficult. Try making a SOR that looks like
a straight trumpet, and clip the wide end by two planes, each applied twice,
but rotated around the Y axis, to form the flat end. Clip by a third plane
to make a nice recangle at the end.

I happen to have recently done a screwdriver for
a project on which I am working.  Units
are in cm.  

The file can be used also as an .inc file....
just "#declare IncludeFlag = 1;" before including
it.

Note the macro has a flag to set whether a flat
blade or phillips head tool is generated.
