This is to Mike, but I want to see how many other people would like this, too.

1. Disallow the nesting of parts within other parts. When I drag a part
(say, a 1x6 beam) onto another part, I don't want to be able to have it sink
halfway into the part below it, or next to it. If it could 'click' onto (or
beside) the other part and not go any further in that direction (because how
often does a Lego slip thru another Lego?) it would be a big help. Even with
'Snap to Grid', it doesn't help me with misaligning pieces that way.

2. Digress from the "+" 'Hand Scroll' feature, where you have to click and
drag, click and drag, to get to a certain position of your model, and Add
horizontal and vertical scroll bars to each pane of the model veiwing
section (area 4). This would simplfy and speed up viewing and editing of
large models, I believe.

3. Include the help documentation with the program, or as a separate
download. I was connected to the 'Net, and clicked on 'Help Topics' and
nothing came up... No navigation, no display of 404, just a blank non-help
page. When I'm -not- connected to the net, I get a 404, which I can understand.

Hope to have some discussion on this...
