Substation quick 3-D drawing software

[Ainsley Whyte]

Anyone can suggest a software that can draw a enclose substation very quickly in 3- D and can display internal walk through.

Sketchup?

Like all drawing software, there's some learning to do.

Sketchup is nice in that you can build a library of objects-- transformers, fence panels, etc.-- and cut and paste them where needed. But you have to assemble these objects out of basic shapes-- circles, rectangles, etc.. You can extrude things-- make a circle and extrude a piece of pipe.
