hi,

i started with 3d studio 1, (which was hardly usable, as it didnt have any feature for cutting objects - besides deleting triangles)
i dont have anything from that time, but i still got a complete package of 3dstudio3 (including dongle;-))
here is some info from the reference manual ...

have fun
robert
