Building 36 identical shelving brackets wasn't particularly interesting I must say. Thankfully I had the foresight to set up jigs for cutting and assembling the pieces.

Pats on the back to whoever knows what these poles are for.

What software is that? Can't tell if it's 3D modeling or CAD

Sketchup

I always pity the 'but we've modeled everything in sketchup so it should be quick to get working in a realtime env' folk.
