1) Looks pretty good.

2) What's with the supports? They're tiny!

3) Spine seems a bit too thick.

4) What version of Windows are you using?!

XD thats windows 2000, or XP with a differant skin.

Rails look a bit to tiny...Dnd the spine does look way too wide...

Looks good though :3, mabye it's the color?

B&M track spine is trapezoidal, not rectangular. And the rails are too widespread. Try thickening them a tad also.

I'm confused is this program for no limits or general planning?

^ The program is Solidworks, it is a 3d rendering program, C.A.D.
