Thomas - I have a copy of 3DWin V3.5 and tried to use it to convert the DXF
file generated by Strata 3D into a UDO file, but when I rendered it all that
was visible was the bevelled surface around the edges of the text.  The
front and back faces were missing making the letters hollow.  Any thoughts
on what I might have done wrong?
