Robert,
I could model it for you. But I use KeyCreator & Solidworks. So unles you can read thiose formats, I would have to export it as a STEP file. Or some other neutral format. Do you know what the basic size is? Diameter, Height at both Eaves & peak?

Hi, inventor accepts solidworks models I believe so that shouldn't be an issue. As for sizes I am unsure what the base sizes are to be perfectly honest! Hmm I have had a look on the be but not found a great deal of info...

I found a picture of a similar corrigated bin that is 24 feet diameter x 30 feet tall at the center. Would that be about right?
And do you want that full (i.e. real) size? Or scaled down?

Ideally full size. It is for some accessories I have designed

So you're looking for a fully details and accurate model of a real silo. Right?

That might be a bit tougher. I have no idea what the inside structure of somethign like this is. I could model the "skin", but anything underneath that would be pure conjecture.

hmmm that wouldn't be a major issue as our first accessory is external anyway...
