This has probably been discussed a trillion, billion times, but I ask....whyno implementations of NURBS into the SW program? It is not like it issomething new. And I am sure that it can be done. Does SW not look at it asa useful tool? or am I just asking for the impossible to be done. As anIndustrial design tool, SW works well for me. That new deform feature is afar cry from being something useful, just my opinion.I have tried shapeworks, which was not that bad. Place as many points on anysurface and then push and pull them, but should this a third party tool orsomething SW has from the get go?

"This has probably been discussed a trillion, billion times,but I ask....why no implementations of NURBS into the SWprogram?"Because the initial concept of Solidworks was to be a solidonly modeler. This has now been proven to be the wrong wayto go. It is something I have said was the wrong way to gofor many, many years in this newsgroup.It takes time to change from the wrong concept to the rightone. Allowing disjoint solids was the first step to becominga seamless, unified, hybrid modeler. There is still a long,long way to go for SolidWorks."It is not like it is something new."It is for SolidWorks."That new deform feature is a far cry from being somethinguseful, just my opinion."ROTFLMFAO. The brain trust at Spatial sure can't do whatthis man can:"but should this a third party tool or something SW has fromthe get go?"Extreme sarcasm mode on:Na, just keep shelling out the cash for all the basicfunctionality stuff SolidWorks should have but doesn't andjust keep bopping back and forth...
