Jack: I really love what been in in Rel 3.0! But you know me never happy. I was playing with Strata Pro the last night, Spline base modeling and morphing. Not only does it look smooth but the control point DB is so much smaller that the app doesn't get bogged down counting vertices. I wrote this quite a long while ago. I don't know if you know this about the summa, so I'm sending it FYI: >By the way, the cursor not only sticks, it often jumps about 2 inches. Whenever it does >that, it freezes for about 15 seconds. > Greg >Thanks Greg. I'll pass it on and see if we can't get something done about it. – J You know the summa drivers have been buggy since Rel 1.0! I thought that they would be fixed in rel 2.0! Now I see that they still don't work right in rel 3.0! Maybe ya'll (that is pronouced u-all) simply remove the built in drivers and force summa to write a ADI for 3DS. If the summa tab was my product and 3DStudio had "built-in support for the summa" why would I rewrite drivers for it? NOTE: Since I wrote this (and didn't send it) several people have replied. I would seem that the ADI from summa works fine. It is just the 3DS internal driver that causes problems (except for John!)
