Just to add to that - Tools On Surface could help in engraving panel lines - if you don´t want to achieve that by textures, but to extrude such curved surfaces, another Fredo´s plugin could save you a lot of frustration http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=6708&hilit=joint+push+pull

😄 Please post some impressions. I want to know if it has some use.
I see that you can make your own layouts too and they have one for Blender and other apps.

I don't think that this app wants to replace the mouse rather than the keyboard.

Currently there is (as I know of) only Twilight [not the book] that can render with the "proper animation" "mover.rb" and "sketchyphysics"

look in the .zip folders that you downloaded.

For my understanding SU2KT/Kerkythea can handle "proper animation" too. And I would not be surprised if SU2Thea will soon support that as Thea Render has build-in animation controls.

Sure. You will have to re-adjust your toolbars and what not but this is a solution to the original request.

Slicer exports the slices as individual groups, the 'lay flat' option makes copies of these flattened onto the ground spaced apart by an entered amount, set in a logical h/w arrangement and numbered to match the original order, and these are also grouped.
You can adjust where these are by editing the group and of course make plan views of each as desired as scene-tabs ? Then export them as jpegs using once of the batch image exporter tools available...

Thanks! this helps a lot. but how would you made the bevel wheel?
