profiles are the starting point for so much geometry I KEEP coming up against bad profile issues - and it takes an age to get a clean profile again Sometimes the software spots the overlap or the gap for me - and sometimes it doesn't Tips on cleaning up profiles quickly would warrant much love

tutorials and book wanted ! the documentation is just insufficient ! best tutorials I've see, are from bonzai3d , everybody has access, easy, and covers all the bases. note: the rendering engine , is not bad, but without any decent documentation, or tutorial, it's not really usable.

I have purchased the book from Amazon here in the UK and am very pleased with it. I am only on page 19 and already have learn how to use the Gripper properly and the use of the deep select tool. I was unaware also of the collapse palette feature which is useful. Great book Tim.
