This ARexx genie for Pro Draw exports ASCII GEO files as per Videoscape for loading into Lightwave or Modeller 3D. Objects are extruded in the Z axis unless Thickness is set to zero. Bezier curves are converted to straight line segments. There is an option to label each individual polygon with a different Videoscape colour number. Otherwise, there are three colours - front, back and sides.
Polygons may need to be flipped (or their surfaces made double-sided) before being used in Lightwave, and holes in letters will have to be cut out by transferring the hole polygons to a background layer and using the drill tunnel function (for 2D objects) or Boolean subtract (for 3D).
Open-ended curves will be closed by Modeller.
