Gary, << It finally loaded and displayed 2 stations but my cursor would vanish when I moved it etc. >> very strange.. << ACAD to 3DS problems.. >> In the index of the 3ds reference manual under ".dxf" there are a number of references.. loading, merging and tips.. Are your DXF files created according to those guidelines? << faces seem to be missing.. >> Common when importing ACAD generated data. You must create the objects in a CCW order for all of the faces to show up. You can force the renderer to render 2-sided or you can use the 3DS editor-surface-normals[faceflip|element flip|object flip|object unify] pg. 7-134,135 to correct the areas in question. jonas[adesk]
