Description
As I am rubbish at 3D drawing, I'm after anyone around West Yorkshire who could possibly draw my 2D into 3D.
What program and what is it you need re-drawing?
I work in 3D with AutoCAD and regularly visit West Yorks (family up there), but you may be better off with someone who uses Solidworks or Fusion 360
on a regular basis (I've got both, but I'm not fluent in them).
solidworks has a handy option where a scaled drawing can be scanned in a then drawn round - ideal for 2D to 3D.
still requires some work.
What do you need as 3D drawing is a strange term?
If you want a 2D drawing converting to a file type which can then be machined, milled for example, then it needs to be modelled.
I have SOLIDWORKS and can model. Depending on it's complexity, I can't do particularly complex ergonomic curves known as surfaces.
Stick a pict up of the drawing or just one plane view if it's sensitive so people have some context.

That's easy - I'm sure any of us could do that, depending on what software you require it modelling in.
Bi22le's question is relevant, though: why do you need it?
The last spaceframe I modelled in 3D was as part of a full design model that included engine, suspension, bodyshell etc., but the actual spaceframe
was then printed as dimensioned 2D orthographic projection drawings for the fabricator to manufacture it

That is the basic layout. Crosspieces, side protection and suspension/steering mounts will be added.
Who's doing what with the model? Do you need a model to edit/continue to add to, or just as a base to work from. Who's going to work on it? What do they have? Bear in mind that if you're modifying it, whoever is modifying it will prefer it in their native format so they don't lose the design history. If they provide it in a univeral STEP or similar format, it's a lot harder to use for anything except an outline.
