Hallo.

I am creating an interface between CAD-Data and Povray. Therfore I create
the struktures based on prism-objects. The problem is, that some (none to
each) sides of a prism can be an arc. It is not possible to use CSG,
because the struktures are unknown and maybe so difficult that there is a
part of the same strukture which might be cutted away. How can I create a
prism with 'arcs'-sides? Now I am creating these sides by an approximation
with some points that are elements of this arc. This is not the best
solution. Maybe this would be a good new feature in the next version(s) of
povray.

I would be happy, if somebody has got a good idea.
S.G.
