Hi Michael,

I've really been enjoying V2, it's fantastic!

Not being at all familiar with what would be involved I'm wondering if there might be a 64bit version in the future? The reason I ask is that I was trying to import a large assembly recently and ran out of RAM. I had to have the assembly broken down which made it harder to re-assemble later.

I have no clue at all how hard that would be but I'm curious. I would be one to use it.

Cheers! - Len

Hi Len, I think that will probably happen eventually but I don't know exactly when, probably not for v3.

Unfortunately it takes quite a lot of effort to produce a 64-bit version, there are a lot of things to deal with and complications with things like some support libraries possibly not available in 64-bit versions, etc...

So due to the large quantity of work involved it will not likely happen too soon.

I understand that, thanks for the reply. It's probably only a very few that need it anyway.

Hi Len, actually I think quite a few people would find a 64-bit version useful, MoI is used pretty frequently as a way to transfer CAD data to rendering programs and it's not unusual for the imported files to be pretty huge and detailed.

So it's definitely not that it would not be useful, the problem is just that it is heavily time consuming work for me to produce it.

It's mostly an "all or nothing" kind of a thing too, you can't easily make just one portion of a program 64-bit. When the main program is 64-bit all the support libraries that it uses and all DLLs that it calls directly into also need to be all 64-bit as well.
