Hi all,

I'm looking for a 3D modeling program that will allow me to model machines with moving parts (shafts, gears, pushrods, etc...) I'd like to be able to specify axes of rotation and such and then see if my machine go, on a mouse click or whatever. I don't need to be able to export a movie (though that'd be nice). I don't need high-quality rendering. It looks like SketchUp with Proper Animation would work. Would it?

Looking over the new Dynamic Components feature in SketchUp 7, it doesn't look like it's what I want. Am I right?

('m not a SketchUp user yet. I've been using VectorWorks for some time.)

Thanks!
Captain Ping
