Hello Nelson,

AutoSolids comes to mind although I don't know if it is compatible with AccelliCAD.
It's advertised for use with AutoCAD but I didn't dig very deep to find if it is a multi-platform add-on.
http://www.autosolids.com/
There should be contact information there where you should be able to find more information.
I see that there are free demo downloads available, might be worth a try.
I'd be interested if it does work with IntelliCAD, I see that there is an Express version for a bit less that might be of help as well.

Best of luck and let us know what you discover.

Dave

Dear Dave,
I looked at the site, and compared product features. Both versions offer additional tools to work with primitives. This is good. The feature I did not see is Loft. This is ungood. I am making parts for model ships. One use for Loft is transitioning from a rectangular base to an inclined racetrack shape. This is common on USN ships. Without that, I cannot see buying it.
I found Moment Of Inspiration http://moi3d.com/index.htm to be interesting, it looks like Rhino on the cheap. Do you have any knowledge/experience with it, or know of someone?
Thank you for your interest. If you would like to see what my fellow modelers are building, see:

Sincerely,
Nelson
PS I also received a "love request" through this forum. Yeech! Spambot, I guess. NP
