I believe I may know what happened. Once I realised that MC was able to handle quite a large scene of models better than any other editor I have tried, I have been probably pushing the limits. I had done an update with one of these scenes opened up. After update, it tried to reload that particular scene, and I believe locked up. I Force closed it, and I think it caused some data corruption. It's the best cause I can come up with. When I did an uninstall, it did not remove that particular local director, so when I reinstalled regardless of which version of MC, it continued to read from that local directory causing the same error to pop up. Once I realized that directory existed and removed it, all was working perfectly again.

RE: Error when opening MatterControl.
I got it figured out. Had to just manually remove the Local/AppData/MatterControl folder. And it is working again.
Something went screwy. I will keep an eye out for any possible causes.

I'm getting this when starting up MatterControl. Anyone seen this error and know how to solve?
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

Creating a Model from Technical Drawings
Hopefully this may help someone looking to create models in MC from technical drawings.
--
If you are wanting create an item from technical drawings you can start with an object such as a cube.In this case I knew the length of the object to create was 288mm. Depth of 1.6mm. Height of 44mm. So that became my cube's dimensions.
I then imported a png of the particular technical drawing I was working with.
I set the cube to be transparent. (By setting the cube as a support.)
I then scaled the drawing to match that of my cube.
Then added the objects of the correct sizes and shapes to duplicate

Creating Springs
I was in need of a few springs for visual purposes. (Would be a great feature to add to pro @LarsBrubaker )
And quickly noticed a solution for creating objects that looked like springs that would do the trick.

RE: Some Basic Editing for Beginners
@larsbrubaker Thank you. I was trying to think of how to keep things clear and easy to understand and those description bubbles were perfect to use. Those are going to come in handy alot for me, for descriptions and notes.
