So has anyone else downloaded something and if so what was it? Was it easy to use? Thanks in advance. Edit: I have downloaded a couple now and they are not very easy to use. Any help would be appreciated. Re: Basic CAD Software recommendations. 2Mar 19, 2010 12:28 am Not sure about plans, but you could try Google SketchUp to build in 3D. It's free and pretty easy to use.

If your serious about getting it into cad you can export the model into various formats for more "industrial strength" tooling.
