Hello everybody.

item would include details about measures, shapes, sizes, metal thickness
and weights about rings, necklaces, earrings, pendants, etc......showed as technical
drawing in Top/Side/Perspective/.... view.
Thanks in advance.

The tutorials that spring to mind are the Rhino 3d ones; they're OK, but you'll find the limitations of the demo package fairly quickly.
There's also an intro/tutorial document knocking around.

Most of the time I find I know what I want to do, and can describe it in suitable terms (background in 2d CAD & coding 3d graphics) - the stumbling block is translating that to the package's requirements.
IIRC RhinoGold (4.0 is just out) has a number of tutorials, but I think they're mostly subscription-based.
