Would you do me a favor? Would you, Scottv, and Peter (?) please get
together and sing the same song regarding Generic 3D DXF output? The
following is a quote from a previous message from Scottv (sorry Scott!):
"When we start to get into 3D entities then things get trickier. DXF has a
3D FACE entity, BUT it is limited to 3 or 4 sides at the most. So when we
have a 3 or 4 sided Polygon we can convert it into a 3D FACE, but when we
have a >4 sided polygon we have to convert to something else.
I believe we chose lines because the main consideration was getting
things into ACAD. And Polylines are a versitile entity which can be
manipulated in a number of ways."
Is there a way to bring a pentagon from G3D into 3DS as a usable 3d object?
Thanx, LAM
