Hi, I have used a lot of modelers, NURB, Solid, Bezier, COONS Patch, etc. I also played with the patch modeler a lot and came to the conclusion that it had a limited use. Tru you could create some interesting objects and landscape planes, but it was difficult to get what you had in mind. Another thing that I was hoping and had heard it was supposed to do, was join to existing objects. You were only given precise control of the control frame, not the true mesh. I'm all for all the modelers I can find, including the Patch Modeler, but I didn't think it was very useful and would have caused more complaints and frustration than praise.
