A lot of the 3D Printing guys like that program, I haven't delved very far into it yet
Does it allow you to do animation/simulation?

Unfortunately it's really only good for designing parts, not for animation, etc.

I have a few cad friends, one swears by Rhino3D and all the simulation abilities it has
You can try it for 30 days, I think the "limit" was how many saves you can do.
Solid Works was the other one and, as I mentioned, being former military, I was able to get it for $20 a year (Academic Version) I also have a friend who does sign making and swears by vCarve Pro, which we've used to generate the gcode for making some aluminum parts for my R2s on his CNC machine.

| Shaggy, gotta say man... this thing is freaking mean (in a good way). I'm LOVING seeing your work on your models. I have a full-scale Tumbler build in my future, I'll share more when I get a scale model made of my girl's frame (its gonna be a little different in that I aim to have it four passenger capable (not telling how, you get no spoilers until you see the frame)). Your work is amazing tho, I figured I'd pop on this (yes I just read thru the ENTIRE 54 pages of this log), and tell you how impressed I am with the work. I also wanted you to know at some point (hopefully in the next 2 to 5 years) there will be a full size street legal Tumbler rolling around the roads of East Alabama.

| Cleburne County here Shaggy. I couldn't sleep last night, so as I was up til 3am I took the time to start on my frame model, I'll get something up somewhere on here when I get the primary frame completed.

I cant find much when it comes to the frame or suspension on the tumbler when i google it. somehow you built the whole stinkin frame piece by piece. you are my hero Shaggy. thanks for sharing!!!
