Sketchup is easy for drawing shapes, but it's going to be fine if you upgrade Alice to the version where is possible to show objects hierarchicaly. Object can behave together with "vehicle" possibility as we can do now. For Alice 2.5 I recommend just to make possibility to "show" object hierarchicaly, because of semantics. Other features are already in Alice 2.x. It'll be a great advance for young students, because in this way they can draw and make programs. Or is this posible already?<br>

> Hi, I'd like to know if someone has real Moon .ase file surface as a sphere to import into Alice. Alice Moon class is not so realistic as for example Sketchup model from 3d warehouse models. The problem with Sketchup is that it's exporter doesn't export texture as well. Attached pictures show what I get if I export ase from Sketchup and import ase into Alice.<br>
