I currently am beta testing for Electric Cafe a new generation of
Modelshop. Soon to be released. It is a hybrid drafting based 3D program.
I have been a loyal user of the program for many years and am
particularly excited with the current configuration. It is not a classic
2D drafting program but allows texture mapping and Boulian shape creation
in the plan view. Currently the dimensioning is limited to a default
style and size. What it does very well for me is provide a drafting like
interface in a 3D modeling environment/ the walkthroughs, animation for
presentation, and texture mapping are very effective. Previous
experimentation with other hybrid programs have been disappointing.
DesignWorkshop from Artifice, Inc.(used by archit. design dept., Univ. of
Oregon) was such a disappointment. If you are curious about ModelShop:
