I totally agree, we should find a public or freeware CAD program to do the
mundane for us in modeling. I also agree that finding something we can all
agree on would be monumental task. I would love to be able to use MAX
output ( as I've previous stated), but don't have enough information about
the program itself for it to useful. Heck, it took me nearly three months
to find a converter that will handle PRJ files and then I found myself
looking at a new package when MAX hit the street with a new file format. If
I'm wrong here and you know of a converter (stand alone if possible) for MAX
please be my guest and slam me HARD with the information (hint...hint).
I personally use ACAD, but not very often now days. I find myself using
Rhino most often for modeling and a little program called Pixel3D for it
model modification options. I render with POV and use Moray to modify POV
scenes on occasion. I have a large library of other modelers found on WEB
(up to date more or less to a six month period.
Of all the modelers I've looked at in the last few years I've never found
one that covered all the bases without costing more than I can afford for my
"hobby". My director of finance (otherwise known as my wife) takes a dim
view of any expense incurred for me to play. Even though she would never (I
hope) become violent, she does pack a mean tongue and besides it's winter
here and too cold to sleep with the dog. On top of that, old Sam doesn't
like sharing his fleas and I don't blame him much since he has spent all
these years interviewing only the most fierce sort.
Tangent aside, if we can come up with a good program that everyone can get
on board with, I'm with you.

| The *strength* of LDRAW is the Type 2 and Type 5 lines. They are key to making rendered instruction sheet output look good. AC3D is a modeller that supports both triangles and lines, with POV and DXF output. I encourage you to check it out at: (URL) (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| personally, i think we should look to a public-domain modeling tool for the basis of our meshes in LDraw2... (i'd *prefer* we all just use MAX, but i know that isn't possible for obvous reasons)... my point in this is that we need a tool that does (...) (26 years ago, 15-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
