I'm also interested in this feature, as there are a large number of interesting effects which can be achieved through multitexturing.

The issue for the programmers is that AC3D currently only supports a specific set of attributes per vertex, and that includes only one set of texture coordinates. Objects only specify a single texture entry but that's easier to overcome.

Once the capability to specify these things is added to the program, Inivis will have to provide an intuitive method for selecting the active texture coordinate set for editing (likely a drop-list in the TCE), and provide all the associated interfaces.

It's certainly not insurmountable, and I'm confident the support is slated for a future release (though which one it's currently set for is unknown). User feedback like this is the right way to make sure it gets prioritized appropriately... I would consider this a good thing for them to consider in the next release.
