CAD?

[Blitanicle99]

Hey I am about to start designing offroad toyota front and rear bumpers and I would like to design them in a CAD like program. I believe this is the right thing so correct me if Im wrong. Basicly I will need to be able to create a 3d image of a bent circular pipe and square tubing. I have tried messing with paint and crap but I think its not gonna work either way unless its done right with a CAD or like program. Anyone have a program that can do that or thinks CAD is capable of this and can get me a copy for cheap or fee?

[Blitanicle99]

If I was still in Atlanta I could have gotten you a Free copy of AutoCad 2006
but yes Cad is more than capable of doing what you ae looking for.

Damn if you're getting free copies of a $3500 program then get me one.

I might be able to dig something up for testing ;)

See if you can :goodjob: I also still need to test that program that you used for your website design.

[Blitanicle99]

See what yall can do. If need I can pay you a the trouble for getting this program however you may get it. Personally I dont want to know. Just someone get me a copy. THanks.

Extruding multiple curved objects and stuff isn't exactly a beginner thing...

Yeah, it is not something you can just jump in and do. Now autodesk Inventor is pretty striaght foward and easy to use. :goodjob:

[v3rd1g0]

its not that overly hard to use... i learned a good bit in about a day... then again i had my roommate teach me and he's been working on it for over a year for his job.

i'm not the one designing the bumpers ;-) i use it for sub boxes lol

[phd1ck]

i've got a brand new, unopened box of different Autodesk programs. its the actual program and everything, it's just that it only allows a one year term on each. account numbers or passwords or whatever can easily be found over the internet to continue using the programs but yea, all brand new cd's of:

1. Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2006
2. Autodesk Viz 2006
3. Autodesk AutoCAD Revit Series 8.1
these are the actual cd programs sent from the company itself, valued over a crap load of money, but im willing to give it up for cheap. PM me if ur interested.

i dont know how i should take that with all the bs going on, but i guess so.

[speedminded]

i dont know how i should take that with all the bs going on, but i guess so.I was speaking of your driving [& riding!], the camping thing, now CAD, etc.! Not quite sure what bs you're talking about but if you need to talk you know where to find me...

[Romeyo07]

Been using AutoCAD since I was 13 (11 years now)...it's cake. Play around with the samples they have, should give you more insite on what it can do.

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

okay. dont worry about the other bs... it's retarded.
