It seemed valid to ask that question. Nobody seemed to have the time to look at the deductive thinking behind the math inside TAD. People wanted examples of its usage. I guess it requires a passage of time, lots of actual projects done using TAD, two research projects with a leading institute in India (IIT Bombay), theoretical papers in conferences... and fair amount of gray hair (and the loss of it) before that work of a young man can really be considered. | It seemed valid to ask that question.

Certainly . TAD has a scripting system. You can create add-ons using that; and rent them to others. We will take a small slice of the rent. So we make money, when you make money too. There thousands of calculations that architects need to do -- but often do not due to various reasons. For all you know you could solve a few of these calculations, | Certainly .

No. The term //Lite// is only due to a few geometric modelling limitations. Currently it does not handle some curves, domes, BRep meshes. Those are all being worked on, and then the term //Lite// would go away from TAD Designer Lite and it would be only //TAD Designer// We are committed to make even //TAD Designer// free, not just the //Lite// version.
