If you decide to try it there are a couple of us here that can help.
One tip up front.
The objects in Bishop3D do not have a local axis. So if you scale a box 
it scales from the centre. Put it in a union on its own and you can 
scale the union after you offset the box. The same for rotations. You 
can change the centre of rotation using the union.
