the last sentence states: "BRL-CAD users can accurately model objects on scales ranging from the subatomic through the galactic and get "all the details, all the time." In the freenode #brlcad IRC chatroom, recently the user 'brlcad' mentioned to me not to use a dimension of less than 0.005 mm, for reasons of 'computational stability' or some similar verbiage. I am working on MEMS devices which have nanoscale through macroscale features... 5 microns is HUGE for some of the things I will be doing. I had been assuming that 'subatomic through galactic' statement was good reason to avoid commercial softwares (as well as all other open-source CAD tools) Have I been duped/mislead/ignorant? Should I move on to other tools, or can someone explain what the user 'brlcad' was warning me of? Was this a false alarm, should I be worried?
