Imported the spindle carriage STL files as solid bodies (not graphic!) and began copying geometry: dimensions and key hole placement.
Extruded a rectangle over the quick attach and used the combine (subtract is inside combine) command to create the male quick attach part.

Here's the finished Carriage:

Also worked on Current State July 2013 to asses/standardize the GVCS build process with staff and interns.
