Gudday Mac and MBC users,

I've been quiet for a few months now, during this time, MBC 3 has been one of
the projects.

Version 3 is an all new version with new ideas and functionality (eventually).

New current features include:
- Cut, Copy and Paste
- Faster and more accurate rendering
- Ability to be extended with 3rd party PlugIns.

Current work commitments prevent me from being able to dedicate as much time to
this as I need to. So to help with developemt, I need some alpha testers to
stress test the current development (an report their findings - good and/or
bad).

Also since the new PlugIns functionality is ready, any developers might like to
try their hands at writing a PlugIn.

Because MBC 3 is still in the development cycle, this is only for experienced
MBC users.

Both components can be found on my .mac page

Andrew,

   I finally got a chance to poke the 3.0b1 trail. Up until now, all my
LEGO time was spent finishing my Super Chief to bring to BrickFest :)
Here are my observations:

Opening a file by ctrl clicking in the Finder and selecting MBC Trial
doesn't work.

Save and Save as... never ungray even if I copy and past bricks into the
window.

Delete Key (powerbook keyboard) doesn't delete selected piece

Insert from the parts browser doesn't work

My parts browser has different buttons than the one in the directions
Mine "Get Parts" on left and "Insert" on right
Directions from left to rigiht "Insert", "Get Parts", "B", "G", "R",
"Y", "+", and "-"

Otherwise, MBC 3.0b1 seems to be working fine. I must admit, however,
that I probably didn't stress it that much since many of the "building"
functions are diabled. Oh yeah, in the directions, when you say "Insert
- Inserts a new piece into the model over the currently selected piece"
what do you mean by over? Replaces the piece or in the same spot as the
piece.

That's all for now. Thanks for your continued efforts on behalf of the
Mac community.

Chris
