I am a solidworks user myself. What do you render in? I use 3ds Max for most of my rendering work, but it does not like solidworks parts much, so I need to export in .stl or .igs, and with a little work..it does a good job....the mental ray engine is awesome...use Mastercam to cut.

here is a recent pic I posted here:

Modeled a '59 Paul from stew mac plans, let me know if you want to trade models?

I just picked up the new 59 one..

I went a little crazy on a recent build...I actually stuffed a USB interface in the guitar, then I stuffed a tuner under one of my pots. If that was not enough, I placed blule LED's under the abolone inlays....
Sounds cool, I will check it out ..

Most of my models are made in Maya or Lightwave, I do not use Rhino or Max much only for translation lots of guy love it but the interface is odd for me and I like to keep the models soild surfaces and quads if i can.

The rendering software is from Lightwave.
