It does however, give you a real sense of what to expect later.

Feels good doesn't it?
Hi Joe,

Your thread/website are great inspiration. I've being trying to learn CAD for a while and it's finally paying off. The best things is that I can go back at any time and tweak the dimensions. Jim has sent me the Ni23 dimensions and they are different to Rozendaal. I think the 3D CAD will allow me to easily re-dimension the parts as new information comes to light. I can also check to see if parts fits before I start wasting metal/wood. It adds an extra dimension to 'measure twice, cut once'!

I would like to work on the rendering - Inventor doesn't seem to render as well as Rhino. Good enough though.
