Consulting with an Engineer
Julia met with our friend, Mr. Dyer, who is an engineer for the food/restaurant industry. She presented her cat tree 2:1 scaled model to him, along with her pencil designs and Google Sketch-Up 3-D CAD (http://sketchup.google.com/ - FREE download) design on her laptop. They discussed some design ideas, sketched out some ideas for attachment strategies (flanges, screws, where to drill holes, different angling options, support ideas with wedges, etc.) Special thanks to Mr. Dyer for taking time to go over Julia's project with her!
