I think a CAD group would be a great idea.

I use CADKEY 3.0 and really need to do some solid synthesis.  I'm
trying to do a 3D rendering of a N-dimensional equation, of course only
three variables are of importance.  I have been having an incredibly
difficult time in getting the conceptualization of this rendering
across to collegues.  I've tried math but I'm a little weak in
Catastrophe Mathematics, mostly because I can't cleanly define the
breakpoints except as generic cases.  what I can do is visualize this
situation and so I want to make a nice 3D rendering that I can rotate
and manipulate.

A CAD group sounds like a neat way to learn more about how CAD programs
and solid sythesis works.
