Hi All

I am looking for a 3D or CAD program that is relatively simple to use.
I’ve used 3D Max and obtain some good results, creating figures moving
camera positions etc.

However I want to design some simple machinery, a movable workbench
for example. To make wheels and put a simple spindle through a hole in
3D Max is a complicated process and I am a bit rusty using it.

So can anyone recommend a 3D or CAD program to use?

Thanks

Chris

==========================================

I'm a big fan of Rhino, which I've used for years. It's a NURBS-based 3D
modeler. It does have pretty accurate CAD capability, but if you're thinking
eventual CAD/CAM, there are better choices.

Rhino is not the easiest or cheapest, but it is a very powerful modeler.
