| | | | (...) Actually I wonder about that. I searched recently for good 3D modeler programs on the premise that using such programs could rapidly shrink part authoring time if done well.

| | | | | | Hello, I just wanted to say hi and that I am trying to work on the plugin everyday. Even so, it's a slow process. I have some basic functionality but there are a lot of problems.
