What software are you guy's using?

Woah, hang on a minute! - you weren't asking for an aerofoil program, you were asking about 3-D CAD. I thought you wanted to create the whole aeroplane model - fuselages, canopies, etc. ?

If you had made your requirements clear I would have recommended CompuFoil as it is the one I use to generate my own wing sections. I do not however use it to produce 3-D models of wings or planes as it just does not do what I want it to.

Lol sorry I thought I made it pretty clear I only wanted to take a root rib and a tip rib from a foam wing plan and make a traditional built up wing.

I have a ton of plans that use foam wings etc...that give me a root and tip rib and I'd like to build them with traditional built up surfaces. I'd like to able to draw out the shapes (I can already do that) and extrude them into a wing and cut a section at a given point to get the intermediate ribs. Not looking to do anything more elaborate like draw fuses out etc... I can currently make the wings in 2d only mode but it would go much faster in 3d

[MODE 1]

I thought the same as you esc. If you want an easy no fuss way to make wing profiles, wing panels or anything else of that nature then Profili is the answer. I've used it for yrs it takes out all the thinking involved in making wings. Only costs 10 Euros which is peanuts in bucks

Actually MODE1 - you are dead right. I made a mistake saying that I use CompuFoil - I don't, it's Profili Pro 2 that I use. I chose that as I believed it to be the best of the bunch.
