what software do you use to design and modify the design for your cabs?

ras2a, Yeah.. I've used Sketchup quite a bit. It has a little learning curve. It's very intuitive though.

Felsir:

I used Visio to design my cab. I also used Visio for my artwork (marquee etc.) and concept modelling of my cab.

Car artwork for my (yet to build) sitdown cabinet:

Timezone concept and Marquee concept artwork

Cardboard with printed Visio graphs for testing the lay-out of the CP (I can recommend this! how the controls look on screen can be very different than how the 'real' positioning of the buttons and josticks are).

the final cab with the Visio marquee in place:

The bottomline: If are used to the software you can use any tool to design your cab. Some say Visio can't be used for designing marquees others can work magic with Illustrator some do great things with freeware design/graphic tools. It all comes down to how well you are used to use the features of the design software... (oooh that sounded philosophic!)

        Hmmmmmmm I wonder! :D
