    Linux?

    I thoroughly agree! And to make the effort a euphoric experience, get Opera for Linux and leave Internet Exploder browsersaurus behind. In addition you will find that many other useful GNU apps will be at your disposal. linuxiso d0t org and Opera dot com.

    Publishing 3D Models to Web . . .

    Petercharles, The link is excellent! My creativity is born again. I believe it will handle about any 3d model, with the size of the model being proportionate to the loading time of the applet...i hope.

    creating 3d solid wing shape

    Is there some reason that you didn't model the wing as a solid? AutoCAD is "high end" software, and shademode is not going to accomplish what you are trying to do. You could even make a solid and use the shell command to make it hollow. the sky's the limit.

    nylon gluing

    you may be surprised at how well JB Weld will work. The typical pressures involved in a swimming pool system are relatively low anyway. If you were to provide a little more specific information about the part, and/or application, I am confident we can come up with a solution.
