Andy, Is your client building themodel with AME or is SOLMESH just being used as a step prior to export? If it's the latter he is not heling your translation at all. If it was built in AME then you should not be unifying its normals. You might want to explain to your client how 3DS interprets DXF files in that it will cap ANY (legal) closed entity – this is the reason his "holes" are cylinders: the extruded circle is being capped top and bottom. You're missing faces are probably do to erratic face normals – they might be there but are not rendering. The model needs to be built in ACAD with 3DS conversion in mind. If it wasn't you should double your fee because you're going to be doubling your effort. – Phil
