re: interesting

I didn't think such a thing existed because a "solid" is actually a combination of primitive solids, and each commercial software package out there has its own way of encoding the geometry. So when you export a solid it is converted into a surface mesh, and when importing the surface mesh there is no way to "reverse engineer" the geometry that created it.

But if somebody's done it, that must have been one hell of an accomplished programmer!
