Hi

all depends how and what you want to study.

you can start in 2D draw 2 or 3 rectangles side by side, define the "thickness" depth in "Z" direction (out of paper) , define the material properties and then go on.

You can also consider the large block as rigid and just not inlude it at all (depends on the details you are looking for)

Then in 3D you draw 3 blocks, side by side

To learn how to use the CAD section perform some of the exercices that are described in detail in the doc

There is basically no differences (apart from the GUIs) between 3.5 and 4 for the geoemtry build up

Good luck
