Can I give this more than 5 stars? BRILLIANT - what a way to waste a day - much better than solitaire :-))))
However, after downloading some extra parts for my MindStorms Educational set, I happily began documenting my latest invention. It's deceptively easy and intensely satisfying to see my MindStorms HotRod coming back on screen, with steps so that in a distant future I might actually rebuild it! I had not expected it could be this easy to use a 3D modeling tool for Lego...
P.S. There's even some usefull info in the help-section, for instance: a list of shortcuts! Not everyday somebody thinks of such a useful addition to the help-catalog!
