Stabilizer from PDMS to AutoCAD

Converting the PDMS rvm Review model file certainly required programming, lot's of it. Sorry if that wasn't already clear.

I wrote the program that I use to read rvm files - it's called RVM4U. You can't get these converters elsewhere, that I'm aware of, except for the rvm file readers that VRContext and NavisWorks sell for use with their specific products.

Regarding the potential uses for this technology, onetool said, he "could think of a few that would be useful", but only mentioned the possibility of "a universal file format" and "3DStudioMax".

There are numerous 3D file formats that want to be universal, but none of the popular ones are truly supported by all 3D software. And 3DStudioMax can already read a variety of 3D formats.

So I guess the questions remain:
[LIST]
Which format would be the best output format?
Which software packages would be desrable targets?
What business needs are there for converting to or from the rvm format?
[/LIST]
