Hi there,
Thanks for your response! I do appreciate it. I think the only ones
I have any possibility of using, even remotely, are 3DS Max and VRML.
I have experience with the former and none with the latter, but the
rest of them sound like multi-$$$ tools that I am not going to buy for
this. I am doing my initial geometry in BRL-CAD, which is free, if
you have ever heard of it, and if nothing else, it going through this
process makes me work out the kinks of developing the geometry and
getting the dimensions right ahead of time before I do it "for real".
Thanks again,
Mike
