I'm going to quote myself here: "If you notice my thread has not bashed Rhino at all. However, Rhino is just one piece of the puzzle. In fact,...
MikeJohns, I would say that I haven't fallen for any marketing hype as I am intimately involved with the technical implications of SolidWorks....
I think this discussion should be divided for clarification: small vessels vs. large vessels Especially in terms of systems, Tribon, PDMS,...
As mentioned earlier, SW is considerably more expensive than Rhino, however, in the same proportion, it does much more than Rhino. You can really...

CGN, Most definitely. It doesn't require a macro. This functionality is built in to SolidWorks. This is part of the weldments capabilities....
