If it isn't too late to suggest a handy feature for the new version I would like to see Precise positioning ie. Rotation, Centering, Moving of objects via the keyboard as an obtion to the mouse or tablet which is to say the least hard to rotate an object very precisely with a mouse or tablet. Secondly, I would love to have the ability to line one object up with another perhaps the option to snap one to the center of another, or to line a selected point to another objects center or selected point. You may already have most of the code written for the above functions applicable to some other function in 3d studio which should be easily applied to objects. For sometime in the future when speeds permit. A small 1 or 2 inch window which would constantly display a full rendered image when adjusting lights and camera angles would be fantastic. Even grey scale would be better than having to stop and render a full size frame to see the effects of lighting or other effects being changed. Dave Long
