Hi

I am new(ish) to AC3D but I have a couple of things I would like to see in v6:

I read there is going to be an extude along a line tool but what about a bend tool. I know you can follow the usual extude/rotate route to get a curve but what about if you want to curve some text or something - a bend tool woul be handy.

I love modeling but I can't be bothered to learn the intricacies of povray. Would it be possible to have a drop down list of materials (chrome, metal, glass etc) which could be added to a model and render okay in povray?

What about some sort of 'fill' tool? As a simple example if you have a square and add a circle in the middle it would be good to fill in the space between the square and circle.

When can we expect version 6 to appear - hope it will be soon!

Thanks

John
