Well, if you are a Mac user, theer are not many choices. 8(

You can use POV-RAY, which produces good results, and has a wide array of
parts available, but is not terribly intuitive.

You can also run mlcad on a Mac, provided you have RealPC and a Mac which is
fast enough, but unless you have something faster than an ibook, don't
expect to be too terribly impressed with the speed results. On the other
hand, mlcad is very intuitive, and has a huge number of parts, and seems to
have the best user base.

If you are part of the 90% world, then this is all moot, I suppose.  Go with
mlcad, and be amazed.

Subject: CAD newbie suggestions?

Does anyone have any recommendations as to which program to use for
virtual LEGO model building?
Are any of them easier to use for newbies?
Also, do any of the programs have a larger database of parts?
Thanks.
