if you go to the images newsgroup, you can find my recent xwing pics. 
the fuselage and nose cone were made in spatch, exported as a dxf
(triangles) imported into 3ds max where all i did was make sure the
normals were pointing the right way, then exported as a 3ds file, and
finally converted into a udo.  then by hand, in the inc file that was
made in the udo process, i added the inside_vector needed for megapov to
make it a solid mesh.  with this solid mesh i was able to cut things out
including the square hole the wings go into, the cockpit, and many fine
details.  it isn't perfect however, and when i get some time, i am going
to go back into spatch and build the holes into the original.  i just
wish spatch was able to have more precise entry of nodes.  does anyone
know if hamapatch does?
