Well, I have done 3D modelling, ray tracing, and randomn animation of leaves and snow, so I can relate to the difficulties in learning CAD.

I'm using AutoCAD Architecture 2011. If I can be of any help, please PM me.

Thanks Kundalini. This is Matrix7, a plugin for Rhino4, the NURBS modeler. I am picking stuff up pretty quick. It's just the "That's not what I expected to happen" things that happen, that you then have to figure out WHY it wants to do it that way, to try to work around it to make it do what you were expecting, if that makes sense?

You may hear me yell things like 'WHY WON'T THIS ****ING FILLET!?!"

"lines are non coplanar" is usually the message I get. Although I draw primarily in plan view, AutoCAD is a 3D program. If I snap a line for a conduit off our control box and happen to grab the window instead (from a zoomed out view) that has a sill height of 1'-8" A.F.F., I am phuqued and have to move the conduit line in the Z axis to 0 elevation to be able to fillet. I don't do too much modeling or fly-throughs anymore, but I know of what you speak, even with different software.

It's a challenge to reverse engineer a design, and get it down in a new language.

I love the ability to mix a render and wireframe. Cool ****.
