hi darrell, (...) I do ALL the modelling in a 5-dollar-cad-prog called "reflections". it supports only trinagles, has an import for dxf (to import converted dats for measurement) and outputs its one file format and a strage povray. therefore I run (...)

(...) I don't agree :-) As a closed project, it would never get finished (too much for one person) As an open project, it would never get finished (too many different opinions) I think the model of LDDP plugins is the way to go.
