Tamara :

Thankyou for your prompt response.  I spent some time together translating a
very simple mesh file today, but get a continual problem when I try to run this
.off file in geomview.  

Here is the file, it is of an object that has 4 triangular faces...quite
simple..

The error that GeomView returns is :


AB/usr/people/3d:96 > geomview triplane.off
PolyList ./triplane.off: bad 4'th polygon (of 36):
> END OF FILE
PolyList ./triplane.off: bad 4'th polygon (of 36) [ditto]
Can't load ./triplane.off


I am sure this is something very simple, please do get back to me ASAP, as we
are very excited to use this product soon !!  Thanks for your help, and we will
register ourselves as soon as we get this working...

Thanks,

Aditya.
