Wow.  That could mean hundreds of step-images, for large models at
least.

Yes, but I would probably not keep more images at a time
than what's needed to fill the screen/window.

It should of cause be possible to choose a part by pointing
at it on the drawings (not as hard as it might sound).

True.  I can think of two approaches of the top of my head (use math
to do 3D hit-testing, or build a part-bitmap during rendering, and
lookup the clicked pixel in the part-bitmap).  But that doesn't help
if someone accidently hides a piece.

I was thinking of a part-bitmap. I think 3D hit-testing is
slower, even counting the time to make the part-bitmap.

What makes most sense to me is that you only move the part
in a plane parallel to the image. - You move the pointer in
that plane, so you move the part in that plane. - This will
of cause demand more than one drawing window to create a
model (I would use four: top, side, front, and 3D).


Play well,

Jacob
