Do you know if American Standard's library is actually 3D-type entities in DXF, or more like line drawings? I've heard that Anderson Windows has an AutoCAD-compatible clip library, too. I'd love to add these collections to the next edition of the Syndesis 3D-ROM if they are truly 3D.

John, You may have a problem with both of these as they are commercial programs. American Standard sells their block library to everybody (including architects….<dumb>) and even though Andersen gives their programs to the building community, they are still copyrighted. Best thing is to contact them directly if you wish to pursue this.

Pella WIndows has complete libraries of Windows product clips. They distribute it with their Acad add-in product. They might want to be included on your CD-ROM. Do you want a contact there?

Sure, I'd appreciate it. I'd love to find contacts at all these companies that distribute their product in 3D formats. You meant "windows" not "Windows" right? Are these Pella clips true 3D or just polylines for AutoCAD?

I am not sure of their format. It is part of a package that they give away to distributors. The guy I know there is Jerry Lockridge at (515) 628-6433. He is in their software group and can probably put you in touch with the right people.

Hi there John. I need to ask you, what is the Syndesis 3D-ROM? Does it have 3D furniture? And if so, how can I get one? Thanks in advance. Alex K.

Actually, there's not much furniture – a few tables, a toilet, a picnic bench. The Syndesis 3D-ROM is a CDROM containing more than 500 3D models, all converted to DXF, 3DS, Wavefront, LightWave and Imagine formats. It also contains more than 400 wrappable, tileable textures. Watch the libraries – it will be ready for shipment in a few weeks, and you can bet I'll upload some samples and info files.

What is the price going to be? Can I place an advance order?

The package arrived last night. It appears that they are more like line drawings, but I haven't had a chance to play with them yet. Will update as I get to it. LAM

Ah, if we only had that magical "line drawing to 3D" converter… 🙂
