I do not use modeling programs yet, but I do use a combination of computer and pencil for most designs. I often run into snags partway through a design and the computer lets me save and experiment from the same point over and over. I usually end up printing up what I have and drawing on it to move to the next step. I love the pencil for quick idea sketching, move to the computer to develop it, move back to the pencil to work out the quircks, use the computer to make final plans, and finally usually end up sketching the final proposal. If I had a modeling program or knew corel draw better I might use those for the final proposal, but I kind of like the personal look of graphite. I have been experimenting with the Rhino demo and find the potential intriguing.
