Hi Jack, Hi List:

Jack, you posted some good info there, glad to hear Polytrans is working 
(sort of) for you.  I'm looking for a DWG --> OBJ translator myself, as 
I'm building an object library here and would like to start using the 
mesh primitive for more drapey surfaces like sofa cushions and the like. 

I've been using AutoCAD for 13 years now, and I love it, but I hate the 
forced upgrades and the extra translation hoops we have to go through, 
especially as the smaller developers cannot keep up with the changes.  
Rayfront is in this unfortunate situation now.  We still have a couple 
of licenses for ACAD2000 (the most recent version that Rayfront and 
radout work with), but the daylighting team has grown in size here and 
so now we are forced to compete for licenses as we try to get our models 
into Rayfront.  Maybe we'll look at some of the programs you've 
mentioned as alternatives.  Thanks, Jack!
