<<When importing a 3D polyline into the Lofter as a path (a kind'a spiraling path) the path seems to be "flattening-out" at each vertex (tangency vectors are parallel to X-Y plane at each Z level).>> I have written a PD IPAS program that makes a DXF 3D-polyline of each position key in the keyframer for a selected object. When writing this program I experienced that there was no way I could get the curvation into the 3D polyline data in the DXF-file! I guess that is how it is<g>! I would rather have put the 3D path into a .LFT file, but as I havn't the doc for how to write .LFT files, that was not possible. Is it possible to get this added to the IPAS4 wishlist?! Jonas Ruikis!!! PS The IPAS is called "KEYDXF.ZIP" in Lib 9 !!
