This also might be a source of trouble - Varicad kept on crashing until
I installed the licence correctly.

I cannot do that with VariCAD reasonably.
I use Linux version of Realsoft3D but I must admit that
1 - I still am on a very steep learning curve and cannot do much with it
apart from some good ray-tracing of VariCAD generated IGES files.
2 - R3D seems to be more leaning towards the free hand 3D modelling than
for precise mechanical development. However I am quite sure it can be
used to do exactly that. To give you an idea of what we do and what I
need R3D for (but I'd rather use Varicad), have a look at
http://www.slot.it/eng/Audi.html . The image in the center (the
raytraced one) ia a Catia developed project, loaded as iges into R3D and
raytraced. A surface like that of tha Audi car body cannot be made with
Varicad.
I use Varicad + R3D in what you can see here:
