Re: How do you know when to CAD vs draw up on paper quickly

In terms of how to model up designs. The best way to visualize them 3d is too use a simple modeling program such as 3ds Max (Sorry not tooo simple) or Google Sketch Up (I am learning it). We used it for our bot and we got 4-5 concepts drawn up in about a day which made the Cadding easy. And I use paper to start because it makes it easier to CAD.
