>BTW, what type of objects do you typically need to model?

MY brother has a small CNC. Alot of "parts and things"!

I have a few other tools (Like Hexagon, Carra, Amapi....for poly fun.)

Thanks for the responses. Even Frenchy I have seen regarding Amapi doesnt say "Amapi's great" so that is kindof my answer. I wont spend a bunch of time on it. Probably just save up and buy rhino after i learn more with MoI. I've seen the Rhino demo, not intuitive for me but they are established and have resources for class if I need.

Thanks again,
Burr
