Hi to everyone, to who ever might help me, I'm doing my thesis creating a 3D model with shapefiles to display contours of my area. My project should look a lot like the demo of d_contour from the IDL 6.1 instalation that shows the terrain view. I have tried many ways basing my project on the display from thios demo, I have tried transforming the shapefile into a dxf. Recieved some help transforming the dxf into a binary file but still having trouble displaying the model in 3D how it needs to be displayed. If anyone can help me I would be forever grateful My best regards, Adrian
