Topic: Looking for Autolisp programming partners

I can sell some macro

Sure hope you're joking.

You're going to sell code that provides automation for Bentley Prosteel objects, code that's largely a translation from the vba code examples they provide in their documentation? Furthermore, you're suggesting that our friend Dan base his Strut-o-matic application on an existing commercial application, in other words a consumer would have to purchase a license for Bentley Prosteel and Struct-o-matic, assuming Bentley would grant him permission?

Am I missing something here?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

indeed, I feel violated in a troll kind of way

good !

'cause 'we' have a few old ones that don't get used any more.

.. Speaking of VLisp with Prosteel .. it may be necessary when AutoDesk scrap VBa.
.. .. or perhaps Bentley will finally add a .net API.

FYI -- there are indications Bentley is moving away from AutoCAD in their efforts to achieve CADD engine agnosticy. Read up on OpenPlant.

Just out of curiosity, how does lisp handle complex linear algebra such as matrices and vectors and the operations on them?

Even if it does handle it fine, how would it perform given that the proposed app is to be dynamic/automatic/parametric and would involve many 100's or 1000's of these calc's with a few simple mod's or additions?

The OP hasn't mentioned his level of understanding 3d geometry and its manipulation in an 'efficient' manner, this really is key, if that's even just a little shaky the project will eventually stumble or even fall.

Yes, on paper it's do-able but in reality it's a lot to ask of one mere mortal and a scripting language, best of luck.

I can write 3d a program kernel.
Reading and record in dxf will be used only.
Without use vla -*!!!
For example:
Select of sides, edges, vertex in 3dSolid (grread)
Creation 3dSolid (entmakex)
Moving (entmode)
Rotation (entmode)
Mirroring (entmode)
Offset (entmode)
Union (entmode)
Subtraction (entmode)
Intersection  (entmode)
Transformation USC (entmode)
Moving of sides (entmode)
Moving of edges (entmode)
Moving of tops (entmode)
Change of radius's faces (entmode)
Change of initial region for Extruded 3dSolid (entmode)
Purge for 3dSolid (entmode)

Possibly, more many various functions. 

---------------------
PS. But I, cannot do similar work free of charge. This very big task...

So ... did this thing get to market and I missed its debut?
