Tom, sorry for the delay in answering your msg. What would I would like to see from hyperchem to 3ds might be in the form of a dxf file or .3ds file(maybe fli). some way to move the chemical that I am viewing into one of the other Adesk MM products. unfortunately you more than likely know more about 3ds than I do about chemistry (which is not much, it ends at being able to read a periodic chart) what I was thinking was along the lines of, let me know if this is too far out, being able to create a presentation (business or educational) where by the chemical process could be animated and "annotated". the annotation would be in the form of a text "balloon" that explains the process merits/de-merits. if just the animation was saved into an Animator Pro fli or .flc file then you could use Ani Pro to annotate the chemical using the titling features and tools available in Ani Pro. there is also the possibility that this could be used to point out problems or whatever. in regard to 3ds… would "walking around" or moving "into" the chem. be useful ?. 3ds provides ways to scale things, have cameras moving around the object instead of moving the object itself, etc humm ….I might have to think about this more… But like you said, It looks real neat!
