Can someone throw some light on a problem I'm having. I'm using AutoCAD V12 (windows) and 3DS V4. When I create a 3 d model in AutoCAD (say a cylinder using the Model/Primitives option) the rendered image appears correct. However, when I DXF the same cylinder to 3DS, it doesn't render ok. What I end up with when I render the cylinder in 3DS are the two ends of the cylinder but no "cylinder walls". What is the problem/solution ? Thanking you in anticipation, Jez
