Has anyone used eTemplate system www.etemplatesystem.com (http://www.etemplatesystem.com) ? It seems like a great idea.
But, like most great ideas = big $$$$.
I was wondering if there is an less expensive solution to achieve similar results?

How much ?$

There was a similar plug-in for Rhino announced a few weeks ago but the website seems dead now....

It's $10,000+++
I checked out rhino ,seems similar,but your right,
there is no further information.I'm interested in using it to measure cabinetry installations primarily.It might help in fitting custom cabinets.
Anything to save a "little" time .

What is your intended use? We do stone, engineered quartz, and solid surface countertops. We've done a lot of research into the subject and the ProLiner seems to have the best utility in a real-world implementation. We bought an LT-55 laser templater, but frankly, the user interface is difficult and it's all based on establishing a central reference point before measuring. If the tripod gets bumped, the measurements will be incorrect.

The ProLiner can be relocated quickly and easily around a kitchen to do individual cabinet groups as it is immediately self-referent.

Here's a good thumbnail of some of the available systems: http://www.stoneworld.com/Articles/Feature_Article/BNP_GUID_9-5-2006_A_10000000000000193911

Yes, indeed, they're all rather expensive.

Thanks for the information Brett

I would use it to template/measure cabinetry installations
Curved or odd openings for mouldings.Just about any measuring I do for my custom woodwork.
