Several years ago a 3D/solids modeling/drafting/architectural CAD program was developed at the Universty of Rochester calld WorldView. It was written up in iether IEEE Computers or IEEE Computer Graphics and Appplications and appeared to be a remarkable system, cabable of being used to design anything from simple parts to a complete housing project. It was advertised as a design assistant not just a drafting package and would (eventually) handle various engineering analysis tasks, design rule checking (building codes), etc. It was being commercialized by the Aisa Computer Produts Division of the Maedl Group Inc in Buffalo NY (I have alredy tried ny.wanted) under the prodcut name of WorldPort. At the time it was running on HP 9000's and VAX's and I believe was being ported to X. The phone number in my (now 3 year old literature) has been disconnected. Does anyone know about them or this program? Any pointers much appreciated, e-mail to apple!jrg perfered. apple!jrg John R.
