I don't have enough mapping work to justify a subscription yet. **What do you dislike about Mapware?** It would be good to have a trim feature when exporting. Sometimes the edges of the model are rough. It would be nice to be able to trim these off prior to export so the deliverable to my customers looks more professional.

This would help see small differences in specific areas. **What problems is Mapware solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mapware gives my small company powerful software that I can pay to use as I need it.
