hi, am an architecture student interested to buy a Rabbit HX3040 and i was wondering if anyone could help me out. i was thinking about dividing a 3D design into a series of planes and gluing them together to get out a 3D.
what software can i use to do that? and if i got lest say a house 3D, any other oftware that break down all the planes so i can just cut it instead of measuring evrythg again and cutting plane by plane?
thx...

I believe that Vectric's Cut3D will do what you want. You can try the trial version first to check it out.
Thanks. Mike

With that kind of attitude on this forum, I don't think you'll get much help. We pay with our hard earned dollars to get the best software available, not STEAL it!!!!

better you open it with autocad.
then use "explode" command.

i think house 3D it'snot too complex.
