the capital building is available but it is the property of autodesk and you have to ask them to put it on the system

Yes indeed, I even have to ask (even though I drew it) as it is company property. I think we may be able to get a release of it, but we'll see. I have many 3d drawing that are collecting dust, I plan to get the ok for as many of them as possible. Thanks for the interest, and let's see some more 3d drawings from you guys! What say, a small contest? Free access to this forum for two weeks or 2 hours free to CIS? Anyone interested? Let's sort out the details.

Heh heh. I've got *scads* of little 3D objects, except they were all created on Amiga and Atari ST systems. Data is data, right? Can I still enter the contest? I sell a program on the Amiga called InterChange that converts 3D objects from one format to another, as well as tools that operate on 3D objects. I've got a converter for AutoCAD format up and working to some degree. I will be uploading some example pictures and 3D objects in the next few weeks, perhaps contigent on things I learn at the Chicago AutoDesk show. I've got rights to a fair number of 3D objects, I also sell disks of premade 3D objects to animators and artists on the Amiga. How about an animation of the AutoCAD robot arm, with hierarchical motion, swinging around? TIE fighters? 3D space shuttles? Human figures? Volkswagens? A question about coloring these objects: I can support the minimal eight-color settings described in the AutoCAD manuals, but what system of coloring would work best in the most common AutoCAD setup? Is the mapping from AutoCAD colors to ADI colors always implementation dependent?

I do animation using the Topas program from AT&T. I'd be interested in purchasing a disk of 3-D objects in autocad .dxf files , can you supply this on IBM DOS disks? I use the Cadverter from Mathematica to import the files.

I'm still working through my marketing on this product. What's the going rate for 3D clipart disks for AutoCAD? Are there such things yet? I've seen a lot of 2D libraries, but little 3D.
