i Paul, ive been trying my hand at learning a little about 3d modeling the
last 2 days with google sketchup, to see what i can do to help.  i should
say ive found it quite challenging, (at least in sketchup) to learn.  For
the 3D models of the engine, heat exchanger and Jeff MM plate, if they are
not proprietary do you have any files you could send me for those
components, just for the sake of trying to learn some modelling.  I can try
and convert them online to whatever sketchup uses,


 best regards

 Alex


Rhino has a fairly easy learning curve. Basically you draw 3 views and
it converts it to 3D. The drawback is the cost.
