John: I read in your ICP info text file that you make a module for DXF objects. I have yet to try using your module in the newest Toaster software (no Toaster in my machine yet) so I thought I'd ask you here. Here's my problem: Generating a 3D mesh of the contour of land in an IBM package (wireframe). Exporting as a 3d DXF file. Load DXF into Amiga and have it add rectangular surfaces to the contour mesh rather than just wire frame. Have tried several translators that claim to allow importing of DXF files but none will automagically add the surfaces to the wireframe for me. I know it's a witch to do by hand. (I did it in the old Modeller package once for a 20 by 20 grid). But I'd really prefer an automated method. Do any of your modules do this "auto surfacing". I hope to try the Toaster modules on Tuesday at our local Toaster user group meeting (I attend with a friend who has a Toaster). I hope the new ICP modules will handle it. I need this capability for something I am working on currently. Thanks, Mike Fancy – LugNuts
