Two things I'm wondering about.
- It would be nice to support JT or X_T format since these are used by a number of CAD programs (Solid Edge, NX, CATIA, SolidWorks, AutoCAD).
- Is your solution the best? It seems there is a need to support Assemblies of sculpties. Trying to reduce a number of surfaces so a single NURB can be hard for non-trivial cases. Burhop Piccard 10:52, 26 June 2007 (PDT)
