I need info pertaining to autocad type SW systems available for macintosh. The hardware available to me is the Mac SE 3030. The software I am looking for must be able to handle: o Store and pick from a library of 3D (both system and user generated) objects. o Do (of course) Hidden line removal and ray tracing, for illumination computations and perspective drawings. o I do not need real-time rotation, scaling, etc., but the response time of the SW should not be "intolerable," i.e., I should not have to go for a cup of coffee every time I ask for a different perspective o a typical application that I deal with has approximately a few thousand line segments, and It would be nice if the SW package allowed me to specify the coarseness of my 3D objects, so I can get "draft" and "final" pictures. Anyway, my Mac literacy goes about as far as being able to tell one from a doorstop, so I'll appreciate any help anybody out there can offer me on this. Please reply to: cs%speedy\@att.com or, to this article. Thanks in advance, Cetin Seren
