Thanks everyone! I appreciate the help. I am looking forward to my long conference call at work tomorrow to work on it.

One question I have is dealing with the axis. I can create the layers but whats the best way to make sure that everything is starting from the same "plane" i guess would be the word. Since its in 3d and all.

This is a great app. The more I play around with it the more I love it. The tutorials are great too. I wouldnt say this would be the best app to design the control panel (visio is great for that), but if you are doing a cab from scratch and have some ideas and want to see the pieces fit, this works. (Or you can do like I did and get 4 dollar insulation panels from home depot that cut with a knife and put the pieces together by pushing nails in. Its great to see of things fit and is another great way to see any issues)

you can always change where the axis originate later...

i always just start at 0,0,0...right where the three intersect...and then 'build' up & right from there...

Well... Here is my progress so far. Takes a little to get used to and to get the layers going. Once you master the moving and resizing, you are good to go. Now I get to figure up the measurments for the tv and where to place it and the braces.
