I would be very interested in any programs which can translate 3-D object descriptions (either from CSG or a boundary representation which can handle curves) into a polgonal approximation of the boundary representation of the same object. Actually, any input description technique sufficiently powerful enough to easily describe complex objects would be fine. The important thing is that the output be a polygonal description of the boundary of the object. The types of objects I would like to describe easily are primarily assembly parts. I am familiar with the PADL-2 system which uses CSG to describe such parts, but as far as I know, it does not handle polygonal approximation. Any help (pointers or code) would be appreciated.
