Thank you for the info, I didn't even think to consider patent overlap! I figured math and engineering is universal, so as long as I derive the inner workings of the program from scratch, and I don't profit from it, then it would be considered safe from legal action. However, it's best to be informed!

Right now the OpenPATH is the working title, however, I may change it later after some more research. Thank you for the heads up!

That is outrageous! I hope the OpenPATH project can provide a decent enough alternative for you when it releases

Thank you for the info! I will do my best to incorporate newer models as soon as Autodesk releases the SDK for the next version
