TLicense Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 only just noticed this thread.... didn't know we had so many C.A.D. people on this BBS. My job is that of C.A.D. Manager for a fairly large company which does civil engineering and I have a smallish team of C.A.D. Technicians which do bridge structures, road design layouts, visualisation drawings and even drive through animations etc. etc. We use AutoCAD 2004, AutoCAD 2005LT, Lightwave 3D, MX Moss aswell as a combination of graphics packages. Maybe we should have a C.A.D. section to this BBS ? Hmm funny you should mention that as we've just bought £60K of laser scanner that I was thinking of having a play with the supe. Only problem is it only produces point clouds (We did a front wing and measured 16million points ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale B Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 So does anyone want to take this job on or what? boneyard61 at hotmail.com. PS...you looking to pay for this work? If so, whats your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Performa Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 haa i have only just seen this thread too. been using CAD alsmot 7 years as well as most other computer graphic and rendering software. been using it fro building , structural, mechanical and component deisgn as well as 3D regards Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hmm funny you should mention that as we've just bought £60K of laser scanner that I was thinking of having a play with the supe. Only problem is it only produces point clouds (We did a front wing and measured 16million points ) Catia V4.x has a totally wicked optional module for manipulating cloud data (I was the first person in the UK trained to use it). We use it for reproducing hand-fettled intake and exhaust ports in CAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Yes I was going to pay for this work if someone could tell me how much this kind of job would be I would appreciate it Quote me happy please I will be getting quotes from other people too so dont be screwing me while my back is turned!

We use it for reproducing hand-fettled intake and exhaust ports in CAD. The manipulation isn't a probelem, however management idiots expect us just to be able to lay a single "a-class" surface over the whole lot.

PMSL. Yeah, sounds about right. Actually, you can wrap a surface directly over a could using the module I was talking about. It won't be a-class of course, but its a start.

(Oxy dont even reply to that one!) For Autocad (or any other 2D package, ie just producing drawings) contractors I wouldn't pay more than £20/hour. If you wanted some spangly 3D model then somone just trained in Catia or Unigraphics could probably command £25 maybe £30 at a BIG push. Someone with 3>5 years 3D modelling experience should be getting £30-40. With >5 years experience with good a-class surfacing I've known contractors on £75 hour.
