      I am interested in the workflow to create a model of the Cessna 195.
      The attached file has 3-views that have been drawn from factory drawings. They have been imported as dwg files and set over a common point. I have seen what has been done in the past and I am wondering if using
      the Artisan plugin to create this would now be the best way to do this. I have seen some of the great work done with Artisan but most of it is free form and fantasy, I want to use it to create engineering models. This will be used to laser cut a kit at 1/3 scale of the full size. ( 144" wing span)
      I have done this before with Rhino and T-splines but I am hoping that I could do this SketchUp as well. I want to use exploded views for the assembly instructions. I build and fly giant scale planes in competitions as my hobby and I also kit some of the plans.

      Thanks
