Heres a new version guys, turns out any VBit would have failed to cut.. this version shoudl also be faster. Ill check the
other bits.. I may have screwed up one of those..

Hi Karl:

  I did find a bug in the VBit code.. new release soon to fix it. Still dont know why you crashed, but it may be related..

Hi All:

  Here is a preliminary re-release of the beta for GSim. This is version 1.012

Its been designed to parse the input file only on startup, so it should load almost any file you have instantly.
It still needs optimiising in the sim, but for many youll find it fast enough for the jobs you do. Tortuous files
I suspect will allwys be pretty slow to sim to completion.

Thx

Hi Guys:

   Isee its actually an INCH issue, it will take a day or two to recode for imperial not slowing it down.

Terry:

 Ahh.. OK. I do have it.

  Here is version 1.011

 This version is more accurate due to a 2 pass loader. However, arcs do slow this thing down.
I can speed it up by implementing a sewpt tool algorithm, but I will wait to see how all else
works and if it is popular before I spend that development effort.  The sim works very well
on 2.5d general files, Gears and the like, for doing complex stl 3d models Ill likely have to
have a swept tool in effect or sim'ing woudl take near as long as cutting.

Terry:

    Can you send me the file... I know theres still issues with some files, and I suspect its simply a resolution issue..

had been havig trouble as well , please let me know your experience..

Hi Karl:

  Sorry I broke it on you, Im playing with variosu OpenGL structures hoping to find a common thread for the problem..

Here is 1.009 which should add more messages and fix your trouble. (hopefully)

Thx
