Has anyone had any problems with the conversion process from
Auto-Architect to 3D Studio via dxf? Does it work well? How do you suggest to
handle the layering names? */
It does not work well. At all. A lot of extrusions (instead of real surfaces)
are used (ex: LINEs with thickness instead of 3DFACEs) which do not translate
to 3DS. Layer names is a mess since objects in 3DS can be created from layer
names. I don't do it. I use my AA stuff as templates for true surfaces using
AME equivalents and explode AME's stuff down to polymesh/surface entities,
convert all these to a completely different layering scheme for object naming,
and then transfer to 3DS. It's nasty. -dave
