[GRASS-user] 3D DXF output: howto?

[paallen at attglobal.net]

Benjamin,

Just one warning.  About 1-2 years ago I too looked at using blender an I discovered a problem.  Blender at that time could only work withe coordinates (x,y, and z ) in the range of +/-10000.00.  Which is a problem for most realworld coordinates.

Does this limitation still exist?
Do your coordinates exceed this range?

Good luck,

Phillip Allen

Subject: [GRASS-user] 3D DXF output: howto?

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to get some 3D points out of GRASS and into a
3D modeller (blender.org) fur further processing.

Two questions arise:

1. My GRASS vector points are 2D + elevation attribute. Is it possible
to map the elevation attribute to a Z coordinate and create a 3D map?

2. Is it possible to output 3D vector points as 3D DXF?

If not, maybe someone could detail on what needs to be done and I will
try and hack up something.

Best,

Benjamin
