Re: [RE-wrenches] graphic software for mac
I don't know if you want a 3D modeling program, but Sketchup is free and incredibly powerful. There is a Pro version also available with more advanced tools. It's about as simple as 3D could be. You could do 2D with it also. I just got back from Sketchup 3D Basecamp, and saw some amazing things architects are doing with it. *Jason Szumlanski* *Fafco Solar* On Thu, Oct 18, 2012 at 3:04 PM, Jonathan Hill solar...@gmail.com wrote: Dear fellow wrenches- I'm looking for a good, simple drawing program for mac.

DraftSight is a free AutoCAD clone (not just for Mac) that may be what you're looking for.

The CG tech spoke with SMA tech support about the possibility of the SIs selling back to the utility as well as the SBs. He learned that there is a software patch that can be installed in the SIs that will allow them to do this, but that SMA will only allow the patch to be installed upon receiving written permission from the utility. This was sufficient for our utility to consider our system to be a 10kW interconnected system. This is all I know that may help you; I heard nothing about 3 seconds.
