WOW! That is a mind blower!
Took awhile to figure out how to use it, I thought it would work like the PDF viewers and just automatically assign itself to the proper files.
So after a little trial and error I finally used the viewer to open a PDO file and there it was, kind of boring until I accidentally dragged the mouse over the 3D image then there was no stopping me.
Almost everything moves - zooms in & out AND the 3D can be rotated every which way but loose!
IT IS A VERY COOL PROGRAM!
I expect years of fun and enjoyment from it so THANKS 3Turner and everybody else who helped in hooking me up with it!
I just got to go play some more! Later, Petseal

You can pan the 3d screen if you hold down Control, very useful with long projects.

The main thing i liked was that it can be used as instructions. When you highlight one edge/part, it tells you what part it is supposed to join to.

legion & 3Turner,
Good to know!
Still playing with the program and discovering some really cool stuff.
Click here or run the mouse over that and things pop up or change color or some such thing.
A little confusing at times but still really cool to play with.
So thanks for the input, it is very much appreciated!
Later, Petseal

One thing I find very usefull is the fact you can edit the mountain/valley fold lines. Really handy on small parts! Check the 'Other settings' menu for it, the other tabs on the screen that pops up has some interesting stuff too.
