I'm not very much involved with CAD on a professional basis, but I think I can manage for very small and basic stuff. As long as it's not something like this... :lol:

The MassiveRT Project - Interactive Visualization of Massively Complex 3D Models
Apparently, they modelled a Boeing 777. All parts of it (more or less) and by looking at the videos provided on the site you will understand...
The Boeing 777 model contains roughly 350,000,000 (350 million) triangles, which arrived in a compressed (!) form on 12 CDs. The entire model to be rendered (including all triangles, BSP trees etc.), consumes roughly 30-60 GByte on disk. We render the full model, without any simplifications or approximations including pixel-accurate shadows and highlights.
A suitable project for all of you taking CAD classes and wants to impress your teacher... Create a Boeing 777... :wink:
