Thank you Cyber and IP.
IP: I want to know, if I develop an RTA metal bookshelf. It would have the sides with holes for hardware/fastener installation, a few one piece shelves, and a back. Could I develop these parts to exact specifications within Rhino and then submit this file to a manufacturer for production?
Bear in mind… this is just an example from the top of my head. I don’t have such plans at this time.
Basically, I know that Solidworks is very VERY expensive, and as a student I can only afford Rhino. If I am not able to learn Solidworks by the time I graduate, will many doors be closed on me?
It doesn’t help to not have software at home and still be expected to learn and then practice modeling in it everyday.
