vector map layers in 3d

Hello, Moniek
The d.3d program only works with raster layers. The trick to getting around this
limitation is to create a composite raster layer using the CELL driver. This way
you can make a 3d image of anything that you can normally display in GRASS,
including vectors and even text. You'll find discussion on use of the CELL 
driver in the GRASShopper archives on moon.cecer.army.mil, or I can e-mail you 
specifics if you have questions.
