oic. thanks
i checked face.dxf, made a fix, did another commit
and now quads should work fine

i'm looking into adding polyline support for 550.dxf
AC3D loads 550.dxf and so should we

i did a commit which adds POLYLINE support
i used 550.dxf to test it
the load result looks the same as in AC3D

ssgLoadDXF now supports LINE, 3DFACE, and POLYLINE (VERTEX,SEQEND)
hopefully that is all we need for DXF support
let me know if there are any more bugs

I have a question about testq.obj
it refers to a file called testq.mtl
do you have that file?

Thanks again for the testing Wolfram!

Great! Quads work. Meshes that werent displayed at all are now 
displayed as lines. If these are displayed as (filled) faces, then
it would be even better. 
Does anbody know what DXF means by Polyline? Is this filled?

I didnt know it was needed for the *.obj-file. I did send it to you
now.

Bye bye,

povray has a console. could we store error messages in a
multi-line console buffer and then when PPE gets an error
return it pops up a console window?  the "last" error found
string might not be enough information.

doesn't matter to me how you want to handle it.  just let me
know and i'll make the loaders conform.
