Thanks for the download link - I keep losing the good one and finding only old (bad) ones. I'll bookmark that one.

You're welcome Mike.
I used to try and do all my simulation in Voxel 5D but I soon learned I didn't have as good a computer/video as I wished (thought) I had. So I use Voxel 3D most of the time, especially on projects with more than 8 or 10 operations in them.
And I have noticed that if I am doing some experimenting, trying different ops w/ different settings and simulating and re-setting, running, etc. my graphics seem to suffer and I need to restart SC to clean out the memory or something.
I bought a new video card a few weeks ago, a ATI FirePro 4900 along with a new power supply to run it and was somewhat disappointed that it did not improve the graphics in SC that much. However, it did improve my SolidWorks graphics substantially.
I have a 64bit system with a quad core CPU so I'm hoping that if I do upgrade to SC8 64bit I'll see a substantial increase in performance with running operations AND graphics?
