Hey Swaggers,

Does anyone know of a free CAD type program that I can use to draw building elevations?? I want to draw up some for my house plans, does anyone have any recommendations ??

I might look at that lost. I have looked at sketch up years ago, but found it difficult to use. Might see if it has got any better .

Cheers Chippy

its got a heap of tutorials on how to use it, you just watch and away you go. this is what i did in designing a rear storage system and i also knocked up some camping gear to see how it would fit, than even added textures and colour. i seperated each component added in some measurements and printed out and gave to local aluminium mob who cut it all out with laser.
