Not quite yet. I haven't started assembling the parts in Inventor yet.
There are _zero_ dimensions on the SketchUp model. It makes things
problematic.
Note - for those that look at a jig saw in awe, stay the hell away from
this project. It's NOT builder friendly. :)

What is the material thickness?

What sim project is? They are all off the deep end of the pool!

All those parts are 3/4"

Well it started out with a project a guy was posting about - he'd done the
artwork in SketchUp for his project. It's a "stand-off" scale Embraer
Legacy 600. He showed the SketchUp model pics on MyCockpit.org and they
went nuts for it. I asked for and receieved a copy of the SketchUp model
in exchange for DXF files. I don't know if he knew you could use SketchUp
Pro for 8 hours - it can export DXF files easily.
There's no annotation at all in the model - it's very obviously not a
project he expected others to build. There's partial geometry present
that screams, "I'm gonna see how that looks" in a few spots.
I've actually got the center console done in Inventor - here's what it
looks like right now:
http://www.diy-cockpits.org/images/center_console_test.png
There's more work to do on it of course. I've got to examine the model
more to see what needs to get tweaked a bit.
I also have the top & bottom rails for the instrument panel support as
well as the stiles for it drawn, but not knowing how wide & higha de-cased
17" LCD panel is, I want to wait until I've got that detail before
finishing it.
AFAIK, the instrument panel will take 2 17" panels for the capt & fo sides
and a 15" panel for the standbys and EICAS. One more would fit out the
FMS pair mounted in the center console. If you look for Embraer 145+
pics, you'll get an idea of the general layout.
The dimensions that Roy gave me will go towards making a 3D model that is
close in appearance to the rams' horn style used in the 600 and other
newer Embraer models. It would look neat carved out of a baltic birch
laminate. I've never used the Cut-3D program I bought with the 'bot and
it would be an interesting subject to carve.
I may never build this thing, but it sure is fun fiddling with it. :)

And buried in a box made of fir-faced plywood that you'd swear was made on
a shop-bot ...

There's some 3/4" african maple plywood I've had my eye on....
