I got Google SketchUp and it works great. Thanks for the interest.What do you want to design, what are you going to build out of, and what are your building capabilities?

I use autodesk inventor 2010. its a great tool, as it allows you to design your parts in 3D, so you can see them in all their glory. Its also REALLY easy to learn and use. I taught myself in the lesser half of the week.
What you don't state is that Inventor is insanely expensive. $5300? Not for nerf stuff. And I can pretty much guarantee that you didn't buy it, so why don't you stop admitting to and encouraging illegal activity on a site dedicated to toys, populated by kids?

To be fair, a lot of universities have the ability to distribute licenses of commercial-grade software for either free, or very very cheap. I have legitimate copies of Inventor 2010, Autocad2010, Visual Studio 2008, and could have many other software licenses if I wanted. All thanks to being an Engineering major.I use autodesk inventor 2010. its a great tool, as it allows you to design your parts in 3D, so you can see them in all their glory.

Not really free considering you are paying what, $10k-15k per year to attend that university? And that's great for anyone who can actually get a legitimate license. But, not just anyone can just go out and download a copy. You either pay big money to Autodesk, or you pay big money to Autodesk care of your school.

So...
Taking this back on target, having played with SketchUp for a while, it's a timesink. I find the return on investment rather poor in terms of time spent. It's good for ooh-ah 3-D wireframes and shading like the 'big boys' produce, but, in the end, it's more trouble than it's worth.
I've gone back to back-of-napkin sketching and then graph paper 'technical' drawing for my designs. If you want a better way to design Nerf blasters, invest in a caliper and use it and your time to measure the heck out of your parts and pieces.

Personally, I use a program called MoI (Moment of Inspiration).I was wondering what the best program is for designing 3D, homemade, Nerf guns. If anyone has any ideas, please, post them.

It is, by far, the best modelling software I've used.
