I would really love to help on this project, unfortunately I don’t have the time. I joined our fire department and the training has just started so that takes all my time atm.

If in the end there is no one who will do CAD drawings, I can assure you that Thorfire is perfectly able to do the drawing themselves as long as they get the information. In the Q8 project all the important details were communicated via crude drawings in Paint, and even hand drawings, they converted them into technical drawings that were sent to us for evaluation. It was not perfect but it worked.
Especially since they obviously have the q8 drawings it might be easier if you go through thorfire directly.
As djozz said with the q8 they did all of the work off some easy to make crude sketches and drawings.
Next person interested will get number 579, somehow it got skipped.
List sorted by user name is now formated to be easy to read, just scroll down the list and see how many lights you signed up for, and the number of each entry.

I’ve done 3D modelling and animation, but not in the sorts of programs people use for physical production purposes. Less SolidWorks, more Blender. So it’d probably be better to ask ThorFire.
If it helps at all, I could share what I’m using to handle the FW3A interest list. The data goes in a plain text file, one line per request, with tab-separated values. Post URL, request type, username… sorted by post URL. Then a script goes through to assign request numbers and generate a report of requests — one sorted by request number and one sorted by username.
It’s still pretty crude, and I haven’t yet added the bits to automate everything, but it works for manual purposes.
All help is aappreciated I will work on an updated Cross section drawing in Photoshop like the original in the OP ASAP this week, so we have a base design to work on.
The spreadsheet I have for this project looks fine in a spreadsheet IMO. DBSAR had asked for a rtf version in order to update the OP periodically. What I saw is using the simple post editor it does not keep the tab formatting present in the file. Your post inspired me to fool around a bit more, and I found when I use the Advanced Post Editor to import the rtf data it keeps the tabs. .
So, DBSAR, when you update the OP just use the advanced post editor and it should look just fine ;-) Next update I provide will have the entry number(s) as well, so we can see that flashycali got #579.
