From: "C:WINSOCKKA9QSPOOLMAIL" Subject: TECH: Problems converting dxf2wrl Date: Fri, 09 Feb 1996 15:22:46 GMT Message-ID: <426440871wnr@hucom.demon.co.uk> Organization: None I am trying to convert a Microstation file to a .wrl to view using WebSpace. The converter I am using is WCVT2POV V2.6a. First we have to convert the Microstation format to .dxf (WCVT2POV V2.6a does not support direct conversion from Microstation format to .wrl). We do this in Microstation. Next we opened the file in WCVT2POV V2.6a selecting the .dxf option. The converter reads in all the 'lines' then draws the object, but we can't see it. Looking in the help menu prompted us to check the colour of the model. In the colour and texture info dialog box we had many layers (now numbered differently to the model in Microstation prior to .dxf conversion) and these were different colours. Is the problem to do with WCVT2POV V2.6a not converting surface info? Is there a better converter than WCVT2POV V2.6a? Are we making a basic error? Your help would be most appreciated.
