<< Once you've worked out the algorithms, you may be able to work a deal with one of the current IPAS developers to develop it into a .PXP and market it, with you getting a cut. >> Very true. I will, indeed, have to check out the ASC format. As I said, I can envision all the algorythms, I'm just not heavily into programming enough to really even DESIRE to do all the tweeking and debugging to get susch a routine down just right to market it on my own. I'll probably wait for MAX before I do much more than just playing with it, however, becuae I'm certain MAX will have certain types of intelligent mapping of its own, and GY said there wouldbe controls in MAX to allow you do structure mapping the way you see fit. I might put more energy into the development of an ARCHITECTURAL add-on for 3DS, anyways, to bridge the gaps between parametric objects in 3DS, and CAD accurate shapes and measurements built in AutoCAD.
