Flavio, I agree with your sentiments...but thats just the point of my request... in many respects VM is past it (3d! ho ho)..so why not bundle it in and let some MI-users carry forward the development..if we could have 'Engage' than that would be excellent..but Engage is a maintained (and valuable) product ... i actually EXPECT to pay extra for that..(and to be honest, as limited at VM may be i still use it in preference to the esri equivalents ..and they are still £xxxx! (and have you seen esri's contouring eeuw!)... so getting it bundled would be a true 'value-adding' exercise by MI corp and one that they could afford..)

I wonder why, as this products is completely outdated and full of bugs, such as: - does not work at all on large datasets - vectorizing of contours and slope etc. does not work or is extremely slow, results are poor (compared with i.e. Engage 3D, extremely fast and creating smooth and "gorgeous" contours, as well on extremely large datasets) - import often does not work - "3D" capabilities are useless - and and and ... I think there was no development on it since at least five years. This thing is dead! If integrate something useful, then Engage 3D pleas, which is a "full fledge" 3D product.
