Bionicle CAD Drawings

I'm not sure where else to put this. I've been replicating the left arm of Onua, Master of Earth. I'm using a student version of Rhino CAD 5. These are all boot-leg quality, of course. Some features, such as the fingers on part 93575 are too small for my calipers to measure. I'm looking for some feedback and advice.

Onua's hand. All the little ridges and fingers are really small, so I couldn't replicate them with my calipers.

A piece of armor cladding. Unfinished, as I still need to put in the pin and ball joint connectors. My biggest peeve though, is that it's made of three polysurfaces, and I can't get them to union. Any help?

A "bone". The part I'm most pleased with. It is the best replication I have done so far.

Another bone. Was doing pretty well, until I got to the ball joint. Not really sure what to do from here.

Strange. It's worked for me. The link will bring you to a page that says "No preview is available", and a download link. You'll need a program that reads .3dm files to open it. Is that what's happening?

I don't have any idea what CAD is, but these are fairly accurate recreations of CCBS parts. Though your shell piece is missing the pin holes used for clipping on armor. It's sort of an important part of the piece and it looks odd without it.

CAD stands for Computer Assisted Design. It is used to create everything from architecture to automobiles to toys.

I realize what it is missing from the model. Modelling it was harder than expected, but the missing pinholes isn't the worst part. The model of part 90640 is not one solid part, but three. For some reason, they are unwilling to unite into a single solid. I posted it here with the hope that someone would be able to help me with that.
