Installled the ManifoldLab 'bundle' to the 64b W7. I still use 1.5.4 on the 32b W7. For whatever reason the menus are really slow on my machine in 2.0.1 and 2.1.4.1. If I wasn't so lazy I'd put 1.5.4 on the 64b W7 but I only use it when I need ManifoldLab. My needs are fairly basic. I don't do all the UV mapping/rendering stuff. All I need is stl export for 3d printing.
Just a point but I always check the stl in FreeCAD. It sometimes shows up problems that Wings doesn't. In particular, where an edge crosses another edge on the same plane. Whether it matters or not to the printers I wouldn't know but it seems like a good idea to get rid of them. It might show up in the quick smoothed preview but I don't tend to use it. Show Edges 'off' gives a more realistic view of what the actual print will look like, IMHO.
