    I was wondering if anyone could scale up a 3D model of my whole set up that I want. I have pictures and all dimensions needed. I just dont know how to run the CAD system.. we can make out a deal too if need be. Or if anyone knows of someone that has done it before. Thanks.

    Download sketchup from google. It's a very simple program for 3d building, not nearly as difficult as CAD.

    I'm pretty good at Sketchup and still don't know how to build my own plumbing and make it look good. I usually just download the plumbing parts and put them together...

    I need to learn Autodesk.

    it is very time consuming regardless of the choice of software. I would imagine even a pro would charge several hundred dollars. Good luck to you!

    Not really, thats over pricing it by 650 bucks. All quotes I've seen on most modeling sites range from 40-70 bucks a design. now if I wanted a model of a 7 bedroom home then yah 700 bucks would be reasonable. ::)
