Newest D3Edit version is out now. Grab it at: D3Edit - Development - Forum D3 Editing Tools
You'll find a lot new features inside D3Edit, for more informations please look into the read me.
Inside the D3EditAV40 Help you'll find links to D3Edit tuts and resources now.
D3Edit AV40 was tested with WinXP und Vista Ultimate and seems pretty stable now.
As ever, this is a very complex piece of software.. sure it possible will crash sometimes.
But the new autosave/restore functions will help you to restore your work easily.
Thanks must go to all the tester who helped me to improve D3Edit.
Q will offer a brand new tut collection soon. This one will help you using the new D3EditAV40 features.
WillyP reworked the TipOfTheDay please have a look here:

Use Grab, download the file and place the tod.txt inside your D3Edit folder then.

OMG!
I just downloaded it and cracked it open on my work computer. Awesome stuff, dude.
Firstly, the hotkey list and button... too cool for school, that one. Also the added window management stuff (tiling, maximize perspecive) is also very welcome. I especially like being able to just select all verts in a face. Too groovy. The Primitives are pretty cool. Not sure how I might utilize them, but it could be a useful shortcut to get some basic starting shapes together.
Thanks for your hard work. I'll be putting some of it to use.

I think Atan intended the primitives feature for objects, but they are very useful for rooms, and room details also. Since you have complete control over their size, number of faces, etc... just flip the normals and you've got a room.
Many thanks to Atan for all the hard work he's put into this project!

Yeah, that's exactly what I was trying to do with it while testing it out. Need a dome? Just make a sphere and cut half of it away and save yourself several minutes and a cursing fit. I probably could have used the cylinder primitive as a hallway starter in my current design endeavor. Unfortunately, I'm all done with my hall templates...
