Another limitation of these designs is higher drag from turning the wheel bearings so much faster.

The split saddle is intended to preserve blood flow in the nether region. That one does look as though it could use some more padding though.

It's a neat concept, but the negative rake angle on the fork would make it unstable going forward.

Devon T. Sowell Good catch, Dale.

Another example of a poor design that looks good in a Render.

Josh M Looking at it, it seems the angle could be adjusted back to improve the design and avoid endo-concrete-face. may actually look even sleeker. If the CG was lower toward the back it may help a bit too.

In order to showcase the strengths of top-down parametric design, there should be configurations for different sizes and quantities of toast.

in Using A Wiimote to Control 3D CAD, SolidWorks? on SolidSmack
I see some comments about DS working on some control hardware. What I'd love to see is for CAD systems to simply support the multi-axis controller interface that Windows already has. This would hopefully eliminate the quirky behaviors from 3DConnxion's drivers, which have to be custom coded for every application. If the application vendors would just support the standard controller interface, they'd bring the user experience under their control and enable cheaper controllers for everyone.
