Now you know how I feel when I see someone whip out a project looking like it was made by a robot in a single day (I'm looking at you, Rob W).  For me, that CAD work is about 2 hours in 3D, tops.

I could teach you to be more proficient in CAD in less than a day.  It really isn't that hard, once you can wrap your mind around how it works.  It's overcoming that initial unfamiliarity that's the biggest hurdle. 

BTW, Draftsight is only used for 2D plant layouts around here.  3D is quicker and easier, but unfortunately much too expensive for most casual users.  That I could teach in half a day.
