John,
I'm am still interested in importing the town dat file into Lightwave. I've
been using Lightwave recently to make some simple studies of various lcad
models, and I'd be interested in making a fly by or fly through animation of
Datsville. You can upload the file to me if you are interested or I'll wait
and see if you make it available. I have had some trouble rendering some large
models due the large number of points that some of these models contain. Is
there a way to remove interior points from the model in one of the Lego CAD
programs? I've used some of Lightwaves point removal features, but it hasn't
always been enough.
The ftp link can be found at my site:

Later,
Pat J
