Anyone have a 3d cad file of an aquarium?
 
Trying to learn how to use autodesk inventor and wanna try playing with completed files for learning purposes

Inventor is way overboard to do an aquarium..... try Sketchup; it is easy on ones hardware if you don't have a xeon workstation with 32GB or more ram. It was aquired by Google 5 or so years ago and the basic version is free; great for novices and you can get better as time goes; you can get nice plugin and renderers to as well as limited file format import/exports. It is good for simpler squarish/architectural stuff - check it out.

Ample people from larger forums like reefcentral, nano-reef, reef sanctuary etc use it; they probable have the files / part files as well if you ask them or do a search on the freebie 3d repository at https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/?redirect=1

I have some SW files, could probably convert them. I could save as a step file or something similar which I assume would work for inventor..?
