I see people saying it's possible, not saying it's just as easy. If you've got two different interaction modes, then some things are going to be easier in one than in the other, and vice versa. Otherwise there would be One True Interface, Autodesk would have patented the hell out of it, and nothing else would be worth building. > ...heuristics... Yes. I know. That's the mountain of hacks I was talking about upthread. And there's not a lot in there that you couldn't represent textually. > Again I recommend you look an actual production system. Already seen it, thanks.
