Now that I practiced with MoI a bit more, I think I am sold on the idea that it will be my companion software to TurboCAD. It has taken a bit of work to get my head wrapped around drawing a new way but I think I am slowly adapting. The text on the images says it all.

That's a great result Don, I hope that MoI will be useful to you!

Hi Don ...

Which version of TurboCad were you using?

Nice image, by the way.

cheers,

Nice job on the mouse Don!

Thinking about turning it into a tutorial ?

I always see, not only people who are new to the 3d world also people trying out a new 3d software always have a go at modelling the good ol' mouse, I guess it's because it's the direct link in interacting with our computer and being in our hand when we decide what to try and model.

It's like when we have a go at programming our first bit of code to get 'Hello World' to pop up, the 3d modelling equivalent is that mouse :)

Cheers

Welcome aboard Don! The mouse looks great!

Hi Eric,

I am using TurboCAD Pro V17. I have used TC since later version 8 and have kept up with each version since. I have been a beta tester since V14, so the price has been right. :-)

Thanks Danny,

It is a bit early to be thinking about writing MoI tutorials, but I am not opposed to it. Time will tell, but now that I am feeling more comfortable with MoI I will certainly be putting more effort into it.

I think your reasoning behind drawing the mouse is right on. It is handy and a deceptively simple construct.

Thanks Don ...
TurboCAD has always looked pretty good to me but when I gave up AutoCad after more that 20 years I chose ProgeCAD as my alternate and it does do a pretty good job for me when I have to produce a .dwg file and now I can't see putting out the money for TurboCAD Pro. It is necessary to move on sometimes so I'll keep thinking about the best choice.
MoI is my present favorite for modeling. A great little program.
cheers,
eric
