> my new edge-rounding algorithm is very sophisticated
Could you give some more information about the algorithm? Does it add
additional primitives, or does it average existing geometry, texture
tricks, etc?
Posting the source would be an even greater idea, of course ;)

I'll send you the model. What were you thinking of for texturing? The
model is a mesh with texture indices, so I need to set it up to be
appropriate for your plans.
I attached a couple of examples of what I mean. Two shapes with a
2-texture scheme and one with a 33-texture scheme. Alternately, I could
set it up with a uv_mapping scheme. Let me know and give
me an evening to clean it up.

No texture or primitive stuff. It's a mesh.

Ah, ic. I've silently hoped that you found a way to automagically round
CSG objects :)
Nice work, nevertheless, though!

The 1st texture is nice...

I'm going to take a couple more days on this. Since I'm presenting it as
a model and not just an image, I want to set up the texture indices and
uv_mapping to be a bit more versatile. I want to give a lot of freedom
in regard to how the model can be textured.
I won't have a chance to implement this until Thursday evening.

Hmm, I haven't tried anything like this. I think any procedure can be
programmed for AutoCAD using AutoLISP/VisualLISP. Now that I'm into Inventor
(I believe it's a lot like ProE), I use Visual Basic (actually VBA) and
things go very smoothly. I prefer AutoCAD though, because with AutoCAD2POV I
can export POV code. With Inventor the interpretor program (export directly
to POV) runs $500, so I haven't taken that step yet. On a side note if
anyone knows of a free interpretor please fill me in.
LISP allows you to right routines to handle the tedius operations. I use it
for complex tasks where the potential for error is high, like creating helix
curves, or truss objects. However, even after creating a very complex object
you can take the console command list and generate a LISP routine (if so
inclined). I haven't had a reason to do that yet, either.
