I'm talking about the plans for the cab itself. I own licensed copies of the Adobe apps (through my job), so I've got the graphics side down. I also have Visio installed on my PC, which is what I wanted to put together the CAD-style plans together in because I thought it would be easier than using a dedicated CAD program.
Dafu:
I've never used Visio for CAD design, but Google Sketchup is recognized as one of the more intuitive and easy CAD design apps out there. You will also find that many people on this forum post their design files for Sketchup. Highly recommended, just watch a few video tutorials to get started.

Thanks again Dafu, I'll give Sketchup a try later tonight if I can't get through my current Visio issues... :)

+1 for Google Sketchup. :cheers:
