Just wait till you start hitting "alt" mouse to rotate your model around
in the VM. lol
The Vm does have that and it's nice if you don't go overboard on the
smoothing.

Hi Steve,
I think with me it is that Hexagon has gotten me to appreciate the box
modeling process better and therefore I am able to appreciate and
grasp the VM better. And except for certain tools, the "basics" do
translate over, at least for me. Yes, the interface is *very*
different, but when I think "Hexagon" and fool around in the VM, it
does go much more easily [ of course trying to navigate with the mouse
buttons can really throw me for a loop! :) ]. I am 99% sure this
would not be the case had I not purchased Hexagon.
I haven't read the chat notes yet, but any improvement to the VM would
be a good one, so let's hope so.
Cheers.
