Thanks for the feedback John.
Can you then combine several of these surfaces and easily form a solid model that will allow you to trim and blend these at will and apply defined radii and chamfers where they have edges or intersections? Can they be used to slice and modify solid primitives like cubes, spheres, pyramids, etc?
The R2V(Raster to Vector) draping allows you to lay a pattern created from a bit mapped picture across one of the surfaces(or solids) that is created by the methods I described(or others). It in effect produces an engraved outline in 3D of the bit mapped image. It could be a truetype font outline, a logo, or a 3D color depth conversion. It then is modified to "project" the contours onto the 3D shape.

>The free version will save a model in stl format.Will it re-open an Stl File, and allow further modifications? What are the import capabilities?
>Sorry Fred I cannot answer your questions here about Nurbs andIn a simplified way, can you develop a 2D curve or Spline through a series of points, then rotate or sweep it around an axis or along another curve? Can you form a surface between two disconnected curves so that it blends in 3D, as to define a blended surface between a line and an arc, one side is flat and the other side is a radius? Then once having made a surface with one of these techniques, can you change it's shape by modifying the original curves, lines, combinations of arcs and lines?
