[comp.graphics] DXF for 3D models

pdbourke@ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz (Paul David Bourke) (06/04/91)

I just went to trouble of sorting out how to create DXF files of 3D models.
I have written some preliminary notes that describe 3DLINE and 3DFACE
primitives, how to create and use layers and colours. If you are interested
then a MicroSoft Word 4 versions can be obtained by FTP from 
   ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz 9130.216.1.5)
the document is in the ARCHITEC directory. Please get the README before 
downloading other files. The document is called 3DDXF.Hqx.

Before you all flame me because the whole world does not use MS WORD, send
me a note about what file format you prefer and I'll try to provide that.

Before the whole world tries to FTP the file from New Zealand, I retrieved
the 3DDXF file -- an ASCII text version as well as the original *.Hqx version,
and am willing to mail it to anyone in the U.S. who asks.
