Re: New to Pro-e

if you can use maya or lightwave you should have no  problems with
surfacing and the like in pro e
however the thing i found was that in maya you cant really make things
to a size its more of a guestimate

eg if you wanted to make a 10 dia bar it isnt round its made of nurbs
curves or polys therefore the principle is the same but the results
are different also
lofts are differently processed as are sweeps a sweep in maya is
similar but not the same as a sweep in an engineering package such as
pro

but apart from that you should get on ok i found it was better to play
for a while to find out where all the commands are you will using and
for the most part the terminology is the same but does different
things
