- Yeah, me too; but more sort-of in reverse.
-
- Yes, we've read the caveats in the yaodl manual page about it being
- unsupported and likely to go away at any time, but... we have a need
- to take models out of a solid modeling package in a neutral format
- (we've settled on DXF as being widely available) and to translate the
- model data into yaodl, so that we can visualise it with powerflip.
-
- What I really need is for people who use yaodl/powerflip to visualise
- their data, or written any translators into/out of yaodl, or anything
- like that, to get in touch so that we can share knowledge, tips and
- tricks with each other.
-
- Yes, the source to powerflip would be extraordinarily useful! How
- about it, SGI folks? Please? pretty please?
