GREAT TOOL !
I haven't had time to check if the stl supports NURBS, or is it just a
normal poligon based format ?
I have currently the TECHNIC Tire and Wheel done, the ones that came with
the 8880 Super Car model (without the lines/optional lines), And the tool
I used, allows to save in this format, so I have got to try it out.
Buy the way, do you correctly generate these lines (expecially the
optional ones) ?
If Yes then this is promoted to one of the best tools we have, and it will
be used by me alot.
Maybe now I will make some parts and do all those difficult ones.
P.S.
Any one interested in the specific parts I mentioned ?
I have their numbers, but can't remember them now.
