Another recommendation here for Google Sketchup. Professional 3D results with a logical and not too complex learning curve. For good tutorials (even if a little expensive, but consider what you saved with the free software) look for the books produced by Bonnie Roskes (www.3dvinci.net).

It sounds like you don't have to worry about accidentally becoming a grandparent for at least another 10 years or so! :D

Good for him!

When he gets proficient in SolidWorks I might have some work for him, LOL.
