in the engineering office I work in CAD typically refers to autocad. A model usually refers to something done in catia or alias, which is 3D.

i am fairly certain there's copyright / patent issues surrounding any technical diagrams of any Honda Motor Co products... good luck with that one :P
lol..."in the office". In the office alot of things get said, in my office we say this, in my friends office they say that.
Stop being a dingus lol, we both know for fact "CAD" doesn't mean autocad and is reffered to by everybody as that. Anyway, I think autocad is a piece of shit, most engineers I know agree. I don't know if you guys are civil related but for mechanical stuff its terrible! Maybe that's why I can't stand you saying its the standard ;).
I hope not, I started drawing up my DC2 like a month ago

Thats just the front view I done a long time ago, I have done the side and rear view, all done to 1:1 scale.
However I did plan to draw up the engine aswell, but I estiamated that it will take me at least a months work. So like "hisoka" said, people won't give this out for free.
drawing them is fine - that's like creating "art" but if you then on-sell the drawings THAT could present a copyright issue.
I am talking in reference to the original thread querey seeking 'technical drawings'... THOSE are definately copyright and patented and would need to be licensed from Honda for any reproduction.
autodesk autocad - the program allows modeling in 2d and 3d environment - but for the purpose of this excersice i would recommend using either autodesk Inventor or Solidworks
i think you should be able to ge a good running 3d model from a 2d set of prints with either of these programs ... but setting up a flow test would be alot more tricky
i can help out with the 3d models in Inventor if you need ... juss send me the 2d plans and ill build the models for you
DC2-PWR - for what you are doing - you would be better of ussing a program like Autodesk Alias
CAD - Computer Aided Design. Just so I can join the band wagon and repeat.
