    Linux?

    I thoroughly agree! And to make the effort a euphoric experience, get Opera for Linux and leave Internet Exploder browsersaurus behind. In addition you will find that many other useful GNU apps will be at your disposal. linuxiso d0t org and Opera dot com.

    Publishing 3D Models to Web . . .

    Petercharles, The link is excellent! My creativity is born again. I believe it will handle about any 3d model, with the size of the model being proportionate to the loading time of the applet...i hope. Either way, the content I observed was excellent, and was more than sufficient to express a...

    Publishing 3D Models to Web . . .

    Has anyone here ever explored the idea of publishing 3D interactive models to the web? Without the need for the web-surfer to download a plug-in? One of the primary reasons 3D content posted to the "net" is not a priority these days is because of the need for the viewer of the site to...

    creating 3d solid wing shape

    Is there some reason that you didn't model the wing as a solid? AutoCAD is "high end" software, and shademode is not going to accomplish what you are trying to do. You could even make a solid and use the shell command to make it hollow. the sky's the limit.

    Layer changing with tool palettes

    are you having difficulty changing the layers? By linking the use of a particular tool to a corresponding layer, you will be limiting the use of the tool to the layer, hence crippling autocad. a logical alternative would be to customise your toolbars, placing the layer manager in a more...

    nylon gluing

    you may be surprised at how well JB Weld will work. The typical pressures involved in a swimming pool system are relatively low anyway. If you were to provide a little more specific information about the part, and/or application, I am confident we can come up with a solution.
