[Vrmlengine-main] 3ds conversion problem?

[<da...@la...>]

as I'm working with view3dscene I am finding that some of the doorways do 
not fully penetrate the walls. can you tell if there is an error in the 
3ds file or if it's in the conversion?

All I know about 3ds is basically what my engine can display... How
*should* it look like, i.e. what do you mean by doorways not penetrating
walls? Which format in http://vrml.lang.hm/vrml/ is the source file?

I compared kadota-land.3ds and kadota.3ds viewed by view3dscene with
what is shown after importing these 3ds into blender, resulting geometry
is pretty identical, so on the 1st look I see no errors in view3dscene
3ds handling.

around the 'back' of the house there are two sets of stairs. there is a 
door at the top of each of the stiars, but that door doesn't go all the 
way through the wall. for one door you can see it from the outside, but 
not the inside, for the other you can see it from the inside, but not the 
outside.

Ah I see them (the ones on the attached screenshot?). Blender importer
shows the same geometry for them, with the same problem --- so it looks
like this is what is stored is 3ds file.

That's why the "Inline" trick could be helpful, as then your 3ds data
stays separate from VRML things.

Oh, and I of course forgot to attach the sample VRML file that shows
this inline --- attaching now.
