ActiveSolid is unique from other 3D ActiveX controls in that it has a built-in rich GUI and a import/export plugin architecture.  It uses the OpenGL for rendering.  The new v1.5b adds associative 3D dimensions (point-to-point and point-to-face), 2D boolean operations on polygons and text outlines, ability to extrude from complex and nested polygons, 2D polygons from true type fonts (in addition to 3D text meshes), and enhanced 3D text mesh construction.
