Hello all.
Wings 3D first-timer here. I have come to W3D from Sketchup as I'm looking for modelling software that is suited for 3D-printing, specifically for radio-control aircraft mould making.
Certainly liking the look of W3D so far, but before I spend the time learning to become proficient could someone advise if it does the following?
- Produce STL models that are accurate to around 0.5mm? And allow models to be built dimensionally, rather than 'by eye'?
- Allow solids to be intersected (boolean) and then make the resultant model a solid again? Especially with organic models?
My current project is a slope glider, which requires the wing section to be intersected with the fuselage. Pictures worth a 100 words so I'll add one to this post.
Hopefully I could trouble you kind folks for some advice :-)
Many thanks in advance, Brendan (argo).
