Thank you all for the Help, Rhino looks favorite.


You've received recommendations on a couple very different modelers.
Which is a better fit depends on what sort of things you design. A
first pass would be to look at the samples in Alibre's and Rhino's
galleries. You'll see that Alibre is focused on mechanical design
while Rhino excels at modelling parts with complex surfaces and
generating presentations.

I don't have a dog in this fight -- I use Inventor and and have only
heard generally positive reports on both Rhino and Alibre -- but want
you to understand that there are significant differences between the
two products beyond personal preferences.
