oh another idea is to use Rhino. Ok Rhino demo version lets you save 25 times iirc. I can't recall what formats the CURRENT rhino imports in, but it does allow you to create GREAT designs! Rhino is dead easy to learn especially if you're used to vector art, as it's mostly workign with curves, you can edit points, "nodes" in 2d apps, or solids you can boolean. To buy, Rhino is expensive unless you get an educational license, but I cannot recommend it enough. ah rhino supported formats: DWG/DXF(AutoCAD 200x, 14, 13, and 12 ), SAT (ACIS), X_T (Parasolid), 3DS, LWO, STL, OBJ, AI, RIB, POV, UDO, VRML, BMP, TGA, CSV (export properties and hydrostatics), uncompressed TIFF, STEP, VDA, GHS, SLC, Deep Paint 3D. dunno if any there of use ot ya bud. Additonally, you COULD export your design as *seperate layers* with transparent backgrounds, such as a tiff or psd file format. bring each of them into Vue as seperate billboards, thus allowing you to create a 2D image but with depth, ie stacked like a pack of cards space apart, which can give quite interesting visuals."I'd rather be a
