Hello,

I'm working on a furniture design and have worked out the majority of the design in Lightwave. The company I am talking with about manufacturing needs a comprehensive set of plans for the piece so that they can estimate production costs.

I don't believe Lightwave is really suited for this sort of work, so I'm looking around.

Would Rhino be suitable for this? It seems to be more well suited for industrial design...

thanks,

-Steve

alias studio tools is the basic tool for industrial design as far as i know. It has many similarities with rhino. I'm sure rhino is suitable especially for furniture design in which u dont have to sturggle with complicated surfaces an so on.

There are plenty of solutions out there. Rhino is my prefered option

I do all of my architectual plans in it with ease. Autocad may be for 2D CAD work but I find it impossible to use it for 3D work. With Rhino you can bring your mesh from LW in and easily extract your drawings from it workign in the same file.

Thats my 2 cents
