I need info pertaining to autocad type SW systems available
for macintosh.  The hardware available to me is the Mac SE 3030.
The software I  am looking for must be able to handle:

  o  Store and pick from a library of 3D (both system and user generated)
     objects.

  o  Do (of course) Hidden line removal and ray tracing, for illumination
     computations and perspective drawings.

  o I do not need real-time rotation, scaling, etc., but the response time
    of the SW should not be "intolerable," i.e., I should not have to
    go for a cup of coffee every time I ask for a different perspective


  o a typical application that I deal with has approximately a few thousand
    line segments, and It would be nice if the SW package allowed me
    to specify the coarseness of my 3D objects, so I can get "draft" and
    "final" pictures.


Anyway, my Mac literacy goes about as far as being able to tell one from
a doorstop, so I'll appreciate any help anybody out there can offer me
on this.  Please reply to:

or, to this article.


                                        Thanks in advance,
                                        Cetin Seren
