Sadly the SSG ASCII File Format only about 80-90% complete as it was intended as a 'partial debug dump' of the Binary SSG Format only. ie it gives the Vertices and Normals of the Leafs but doesn't do the other nodes. This could probably be added with a 'bit' of work. Note that with PPE you can 'Inspect' all of the graph so most of the code has been written just not 'colated' Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
