Hi !

First off - great product - I am very new - but - I have found I really like this 3DC product... I played around with TSM and never even got as far as starting a model with it...

I have a few suggestions - while I am brand new at 3D Modeling - I have worked with Visio making 2D network diagrams for years...

I have found that I sorely miss a few of the tools I had avaialable while using Visio... Maybe these features are available - and - I am just unaware of them...

OBJECT ALIGNMENT - When working with numerous objects - I would really like to be able to align objects to one another - on any axis... That way you work to get the first one correctly positioned and with a simple click - you can align the rest of them... It would be very helpful to be able to align on: center - top - bottom - left - right... I find I spend a great deal of time trying to get objects perfectly aligned...

OBJECT DISTRIBUTION - another tool that would help me greatly - and - speed my ability to model... For example - when working with five parts - you align the first part and last part - then click - the remaining parts should be evenly distributed between those two points...

VIEW PORT MEMORY - Would it be possible to have the View Ports remember the last configuration when switching Views ? When switching between a single view port and four view ports - you always have to reset you positions and zooms... It would be alot more convenient to remember you last positions - and - return to them when switching...

Anyway - these are a few newb suggestions... Again - you have a great product and I enjoy using it very much... Thanks for making it !

Regards,
Scott

see "3DC Butt Objects" plugin .... I use it all the time
It's not a "simple click", but it does the job.
