So for marketing purposes he rather reluctantly moved to Xenon. Now he’ll never go back. Read more a www.ashlar.com/success. XENONTM v8

“I like to work interactively with my customers. One of the ways we can do this is by using the powerful associativity in Xenon and Cobalt.” Product designer Kevin Quigley used the associative solid and surface modeling found in Xenon and Cobalt to create several variations of the bath for the client, Victoria & Albert, to choose.
