I'm afraid I have to STRONGLY dissagree as well... but with you Jeff.
I don't think whatsoever using the box, sphere et al descriptions! I've done a lot of work
in ACAD and 3DS and I want buildings/objects I've designed and share them to the rest of the whoever cares that is...)

So I think descriptions of the be spheres et al; they _WILL_ be translations of CAD models. Hopefully we'll
soon see proper modelers that will translate properly 3D objects and ASICS
models but till then I think using DxfToIv and ivToVRML...

I can use and Indy at the moment to model stuff if I want Gview etc but still ACAD is my favourite tool.

(I have to say Will be looking for the next beta though)
