There is a new program out, called Pixel 3d, that does the same type of thing that DigiWorks 3D does. It outputs to TurboSilver, Sculpt, VideoScape, and DXF format. Of the things I have run through it, it has done a __VERY__ clean job on the conversion. My biggest complaint is how it handles memory, though. You tell it an allocation factor and goes and uses that to grab a chunk of memory at the beginning and thus does not have to check out of memory errors all the time. However, even at its largest allocation I can overflow it quite easily. -=> CAW /////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Christopher A.
