Blender 3-D? Back in the late 80's, early 90's, Bechtel Corp. was developing an in-house 3-D program. It modeled large industrial buildings, allowing one to do a walk-through, as if a person was actually walking through the building. One could turn the view, as if it were a person turning his head, in any direction, as well as "walk" in any direction. Zooming-in was also possible. The program was used to detect any space intrution of the various parts in the design, such as steam, water, air, electric, and other systems' piping, vessels, and trays. Once, I recall, it was used to great advantage in plotting the movements to carry out in removing a large generator from a very congested building, in such a manner that no "bumps" would occur. The virtual removal of the generator was recorded, then applied to the real task of removal, with 100% success! This much I picked up, but I was not involved in any way with any part of that program, nor did I ever used it. Stll, I remember how impressed I was! May your program be equally useful and successful, Skyler. I bet Bechtel could use your talents, too!

Maybe. That program sounds a lot like a video game. Is it available for download?

Available for downloading? Are you kidding? That program is a very valuble engineering tool. It probably is available for lease, at $10,000 or so per year, I imagine, as many super engineering programs are. Or, if you worked for Bechtel, in the appropriate department, you might just have access to its use, for specific instances.

Hmm... the IT department?

The IT department, or the Project Engineering department would be a good start!
