Does anyone here using SketchUp or AutoCAD for design your DIY aquarium?

Never thought of it but I could get my girlfriend to do it all in cad for me.

I never use these app before. Only Youtubing and it take me 2 hours to draw a 2" by 4" wood.

I use AutoCAD to make a lot of drawings at work. I think a stand or tank would be pretty easy to do. I only draw in 2D though, not 3D.

Never knew they have an app for autocad..I use cad and solid work all the time at work.

I often design my projects in Solidworks. I find it a much better way to organize my thoughts and minimize trips to the hardware store...Very convenient

You can see some examples in this thread http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...-big-upgrade-from-my-10g.594285/#post-7011843

I'm a beginner in pc design. It take me hours on Youtube.
