Software choice to design?
chrisindfw:
Ok.. Other than Visio and AutoCad.. What software did/would you use to plan and build your cab?
I am looking for something where I can visually put the pieces together before messing up 100 pieces of wood. :)

paint?

hmmm... i think you want to use some 3d software... to model the cab to see how it looks!!.
I was thinking the same idea... if you find a good one thats easy to use, let me know! :D

Call me old fashioned but I used graph paper. Also made a quick paper mock-up (which I still wish I had) to see how the dimensions look. I'm still not 100% sure how it's turning out (is the marquee supposed to be the same height as my eyes on this 6 foot 2 inch body of mine?) but I found it easier than learning a new program (not to mention cheaper and wonderfully portable).

I used Sketchup. They have a free trial period and it was easy to figure out.
