Jol, those are terrific! I've moved some from the Lightwork folder over to the OpenGL folder and they work great as you suggest for surface analysis.

Great idea, thanks for bringing up.

I'm really liking the surfacing and stitching tools in ViaCAD. I typically develop surfaces in other applications, but the capacity to bring a surface into ViaCAD and attach it to a solid, replace a surface, or to add other surfaces with net, skin and cover that'll stitch into a solid, is just excellent.

I have admit, for all its quirks, I do take my hat off to Tim & Ryan, because this software hasn't, like many other CAD applications, been built in Microsoft's .NET Framework has it?. That's some pretty heavy coding going on in there, and unlike the heavies, it seems that there is only Tim and Ryan who are doing the hard work. As a precision CAD, it's pretty amazing what VC/Shark can do already :)

Really looking forward to SFX v6. :D

It's the precision small print that I like, because VC allows tolerances along surface edges that permit the stitching. I'm allowed to work within tolerances! None of the apps I've used before permit this, they just choked unless everything is fitted exactly. Nice work, guys. I hadn't realised that, until I imported some mm parts into an inch file and the parts couldn't regen because they'd been scaled up and the "soft edges" didn't come within the (absolute) tolerances they had been specified. ViaCAD makes spline surfaces much more friendly and usable.
