Putting these two programs together seems like a great idea to me too. Both are modeling programs designed to support Carrara, and integrate nicely with it. I am pouring myself into Hexagon right now and absolutely love it, and plan on getting a handle on Amapi Designer 7 soon. The creation of unimesh objects is tedious and difficult in Carrara, but much easier in the two modeling programs.
Amapi 7 is great for making hardened objects that are accurate/precise. Hexagon is great for making softened objects that are more organic/subjective.

I would say that Amapi Pro 7.5 IS better for accurate/precise hard surface modeling. I don't see that Amapi Designer 7 is better than Hexagon for that. Once I got Hex, I didn't use AD7 anymore. For character design, Hexagon 2 coming out will be much better than Amapi D7. I would send back Amapi and place my order for Hex2.
Holding the shift key to snap your facet tool (or any drawing tool) to existing points works a lot better in Amapi 7 (any version) than in Hexagon. Maybe it has been fixed in Hexagon 2? That would help a lot in making Hexagon as precise a modeler as Amapi 7 is. Hexagon also needs a measurement tool like Amapi 7 has. Amapi 7 has more accurate rotation of objects. Just basic tools that Hexagon has lacked for precise modeling.

Make sure you download the 7.16 update for Amapi Designer 7 from Eovia, if you bought the boxed version.

Since hardly anyone uses the Amapi forum, maybe that could become the Hexagon/Amapi forum? Seems like there will be a lot more discussion of Hexagon in the near future. Any comments?
