Thanx for the ideas.  I am already using VDM for much of the work; 
unfortunately, not everything I am doing is possible in VDM (or other 
modeling programs that I have tried).  I'll try the blender plugin, but 
if its anything like directly importing STL I'll not be able to do the 
alterations I am attempting.

Thanx again,

Bryan
