Im going to copy those questions down and use them to harrass anyone purporting to sell modeling software (G) After reading the conversation you are having with David on AMAPI, I reread excerpts.txt on R3d with your questions in mind. Im not totally conversant (understatment ) with all the terms you use but my impression is that Trimming is not available in R3d for export to DXF. On blending surfaces I am unclear on whether the resulting surface can be smoothed. I will be checking out the 3dsr5 modeling features at siggraph then deciding whether I need another modeler. If so I will be hanging around the booth where they will show AMAPI (#2614) and R3d, among others, shopping for a modeler. Any insights you could provide on how R3d shapes up to your question list would be helpful. I also look foward to Davids answer to your follow up. This is really valuable stuff considering the unrevealing brochures these companies put out. Thanks Ed
