Hi,
In the same vein as Dave's question on Decking CAD:
I'm going along with making my own heatbank out of a regular (but bigger than normal) copper cylinder with extra tappings, sensor pockets and immersion bosses.[1]
All I need are 5 drawings - basically front, sides, back and birds-eye, with dimensions.
I *could* bang these out on a regular CAD (I have cycas) - but I was wondering if this was a good excuse to learn Sketchup?
Having a 3D model would be useful, so I can add the components, spin it around and see if everything fits nicely - and less tediously, alter a tapping once rather than in 2 or 3 elevation drawings.
So, now you know what I want to do, could Sketchup manage this fairly easily?
Cheers
Tim
[1] Newark Copper Cylinders have got some base models very close to what I want and are more than happy to do custom fittings - prices seem very reasonable (it may end up being half what DPS want for functionally the same thing, even when I've added the pumps and mixers and stuff).
