Hello, Clint and John. I have followed the discussions of converting DEMs to 3DS-compatible format and heard that the number of polygons would simply overwhelm 3DS if that were done. HOWEVER, (you knew there was one of these coming) it would be nice to be able to define a PORTION of a DEM to export in 3DS format. I have an animation using a VistaPro landscape that I want to put a 3DS structure (a rather com-pill-icated one) into and move around. To integrate the structure into the landscape would be much easier if I could bring the few thousand square yards it will occupy into 3DS for placement. It would also be nice to be able to tell the exporting file how detailed or averaged to be. Thanks for considering the idea and, if you can think of a workaround, let me know? David Taffet
