[sonofdan]

Can anyone help me out here? I have a 2D drawing of my cabinet side that I need converted into 3D. Took me a long time to put together, 3D has got the best of me. Thanks for any help.

start using sketchup, its easy to learn and there are plugins loads of free plugins,

i make 2d drawings in a cnc software then if i need to make a 3d model i import dxf or dwg to sketchup, use makefaces free plugin and then start making a 3d model from that

Thanks for the reply, I used autocad as once upon a time I was a tool maker and thought it would be easiest working with something I used in the past. It was a pain cause when you don't use it in years everything is forgotten. I accomplished what I needed, only pain was manually inputting 240 holes lol. Labor of love I guess.
