Hi Mike,

The difficult part is that organic modeling tends to need a totally different set of actual tools than CAD modeling. The overall process and workflow is pretty different - CAD work is more about drawing 2D profiles and then using those to build surfaces or cut away material, and organic modeling is more about manipulating a cage of 3D points and working with that big pile of points efficiently.

So it's quite a big task to try and unify them in one program without that program getting quite complex and sort of "bloated" by having multiple different toolsets within it that operate largely in a separate way from each other.
