I'm a rookie when it comes to aircraft design. I have some ideas I'd like to plug into Machup 5 but so far it only looks like 4 digit airfoils are in the database. Is there a way to import that data into Machup5? Or is it already there and I just haven't found it?

Will - MachUp actually doesn't have an airfoil database in it for modeling aerodynamics. If you know the airfoil properties, you can enter them. The 4-digit option is only for viewing purposes. Right now it can only visualize 4-digit airfoils.

Best,
