I agree. But, for me, the real boon would be if the sim I develop for could IMPORT that animation info, rather than me having to create it by hand. I suppose that's on reason I'm more or less ambivalent about even the simple keyframe animation, rotation and size...it's great to know, sure, but being able to easily export that data with the parts would really be sweet!!

One can dream, though, I guess...
