I have been looking to try a 2D approach to starting a 3D model.

Snap a picture then scale it to the correct dimensions, make it a shape, extrude it to the right thickness then add the sill/tab edges.

Looking to see if there are any nice tools for doing that.

I typically use the free Sketchup V8 due to its .stl converter, and FreeCAD or Open SCAD.

Still a bit new to modeling stuff for printing but its the key skill set you need if you own a 3D printer.
