>> BTW, you should have posted your message in the acad forum. The asoft forum is devoted entirely to 3d studio and animator pro. The Acad forum is AutoCAD, Autosurf, Designer, AME, Autovision and other related AutoCAD add ons. << The thing is, this subject of inte-connectivity between ACAD+add-ons and 3DS, which I've raised before as well, falls into a kind of no-mans-land between the two Forums (fora, forae?). Is this not the best place to discuss it? It's 3ds users who have the problem. Most 3ds users have to import from Acad at some time but do the majority of Acad users go out to 3ds? On the other hand it seems that the problem is not in the way 3ds imports DXF data but the way Acad creates it, or converts from surface or solid/wire data to mesh, so maybe you are right. Just let's all be talking in the same place 'cos I think this is important. I really want to combine the power of Acad and 3ds and get a seamless link. It's not there yet. Your Lisp routine sounds interesting! John
