Thanks for the additional suggestions. I've looked at openscad before, but not being a programmer I would have no clue what I was doing, and I'm afraid the learning curve on it would be a hindrance in my work. I downloaded BRLcad to try and install but I think I'm running out of space on the linux partition. I hadn't used it in a while for anything other than EMC and that was on a different machine, so when I did the install on my windows laptop I didn't allocate much space for it since I wasn't sure I'd do much more than just a little bit of messing around.
