Steve: You should give JewelCad a try. It would be a short learning curve
if you can navigate FormZ.
The slice file output interfaces quite niclely with the Sanders Model Maker.
Jcad had easy to use interface and an exellent rendering capability. I do
wish that it had more advanced features- object snap modes, the abilty to
extract a curve from a surface, etc.
But all in all, it works well.
