<< but it is not a very user friendly or intuitive program, compared to MoI.

Moi is the "SketchUp of the Nurbs"! ;)
So SketchUp is some friendly against other Polymodelers
and has the best Plugin Libraries, Objects System etc...seems rustic but so efficient! :)

> So SketchUp is some friendly against other Polymodelers

I don't think so when it comes to subd modeling. :-)

That's not its primary function! :)

You can but for this take ZBrush ($) or Blender (free)! :)
The right tool for the right function! (it can or Moi can but with very difficult efforts !)

@You : "...The right tool for the right function..."

Wise words my friend....wise words!

These words are the perfect summary of tons and tons of posts and forum threads :)

Ciao!

Hi keith,
I would also encourage your son to look into a manufacturing forum. Although it appears he wants to avoid the "cnc and robotics" (i could have mis intetpreted that part) what he can get there are the "real world" tips and info on actual cuts and gap tolerances for building.

The number 1 lack of understanding from CAD engineers....

A new video very enlighting! ;)
(for SKetchUp of course)

interesting work

By the way. FreeCAD has also a workbench for such things.
