Introduction
A long time ago I tried to design objects with Visual Object designer (VOD), but I had problems because the whole object was not actually shown. What was missing was a primitive outline drawing of the object. It was because of this, I decided to write Easy Object Designer (EOD). The word 'Easy' is not to be taken too literally, more simply, the program easily shows the positions of the individual objects making up the complete object. This compares with VOD which does not.
Eod is meant to be straight forward for all users, who want to produce an object (like a house) relatively easily, but
without special features like moving hangar doors, for example.
The only freeware alternative to EOD is VOD, already mentioned above. EOD produces API
files of objects. These are scenery files of objects that can be used in the well known free scenery designer called Airport 2.6. The API files can also be used in any of the other
(commercial) scenery designers that support this format.
EOD is my first program of this type and of this complexity. I depend on comments from users in order to constantly improve EOD. This program is by no means error free, although hopefully few in number. Please email any comments or suggestions.
