Hi Tom, I haven't worked with the ACIS stuff form ACAD, but have heard that weird results can occur. If you can get a model into 3DS, work with Surface/Normals/Object Unify, and Surface/Smoothing/Object/Auto Smooth. If you've tried that and it still doesn't look right, please describe what you're model is doing in more detail. Another option is the Optimize ipas routine from the Yost Group. It's on disk 7. This will let you do more manipulation of Normals and Smoothing groups. I hope this helps, Bruce
