Re: DXF Import

[Dimmy]

    Thanks Jean, for your pointers on importing from Rhino into Flash. However, by saving it as DXF format, I am still unable to import into Flash. 


    What I was hoping to do , ultimately, is to import a 3D graphic into Flash (vectors with its surface filled up). I tried the export to Illustrator format and it works okay. However, the import comes in as Wire Mesh, and I had to remove all the unnecessary wires before I could "paint" the surface onto the graphic. I am trying to avoid importing a raster image as the results are not necessary effective. Is there such an import?
