C#,
Do you have programming skills? (Seems like I remember from long time ago that
you do.) If Z is scaled by some function, it sounds like a candidate for the
TSE.
Alternatively, (and probably easier) you could write a simple program in C (or
BASIC) to process the original DXF and create a new DXF where all the vertices
were ordered identically but scaled in Z according to your function. When
creating the mathematical surfaces I mentioned earlier, I researched the DXF
format for a couple of hours and was able to write a program that created the
surface mesh – it turned out to be pretty simple. (It's MATHDX.ZIP in the libs
here.) I wrote a second program which processed a DXF and made all invisible
lines visible (before AutoEdge). If you are interested, it would probably be a
good place to start since it shows a simple way to process a DXF file with a C
program. Let me know if you want it.
