Hi,
I compiled the latest version of FreeCAD and OpenCASCADE on my machine
(with NVidia 8600 195.36.15, Debian 5.0.6). The compile worked reasonable
and FreeCAD starts, but when I try to model something, e.g. cut a sphere
out of a cube or chamfer and fillet the cube the screen-output is rubbish.

Looks fab! Will actually be useful. Why not have processors churn for us?
Overkill? There are so many ways to kill the problem

Inefficient use of developer cycles. Traditionally, the most valuable
resource open source projects.

Developers having fun are happy developers, and might even find time for
some
, right in a 3D CAD
program
that can be used to model enclosures and other parts.

PCB already uses that for the topological auto-router ;)
I had a thought in the back of my mind that it might also be useful
for rendering models, but I've not got that far yet. I've

VRML is already such a format :-)

3D is mature enough, too.

I've been slowly tinkering with
3D renderings of through-hole components is great and all, but this IS
2010, anyone still using through-hole stuff can just use Fritzing or

operations on copper pours that aren't a hack or ... hey, who am I
kidding.
