Transform 2D Views into 3D CAD drawing...?

[tdfsu]

I have a 2D drawing of a part with front, side, and top views. It is a part that will be hard to draw in 3D and I'm wondering if there is any software that will take the 2D views and render a 3D part?

Thanks a bunch for any help,
Jason.

Anybody?

Post a picture of what you have and maybe after, sure would help explain what you are trying to do.

If you're looking to just give it 3 photos, hit a button, and have a perfectly constructed 3d wireframe... keep dreaming. There are however other tools that you take many many many pictures of an object with a "marker" that you put next to the image which tells the software what the orientation is... then through a process you construct it, perhaps that wasn't a good explanation, let me find a link.

Here is one: http://www.photomodeler.com/

I know of others, and have used other ones, but basically that is the closet thing I know of as to what you're talking about.

I do realize that I wouldn't be able to just import the three pics and get a 3D image. I'm just looking for software that will aid in rendering 3D drawing.

Anyway, I've attached the image.

Thanks again,
Jason.

I'd look at www.rhino3d.com Their were some tutorials on how to take a 2D drawing like the car and make a 3d model of it. The best part is once you learn the teqnic you can apply it to what ever softwar your confortable with.
