If anyone is planning on using extruded aluminum to design anything definitely check out frame designer. It's an older application that isn't really being updated anymore but it's pretty awesome for sketching out some stuff.

Holy crap. Just found this after @Mr. Nobody let me know. This looks super useful for building the inside of my camper, something I’ve been intimidated about. I’m glad I found it before I fully started.

I’ll be bookmarking this page and will also try to make it some kind of article here on the website so more people can easily find this.
 
I told you it was a rad program!!

Is it just for designing extruded systems? Does it include hardware and things?
