Hi,
 I've been modeling for fgfs a few objects around the world. I'm used to 
output everything as .AC files since it looks to me it's the most used 
format in FGFS but that has a few limitations that I'd like not having.

The one I'm concerned now is the "crease angle" limitation.
AC3D makes me set a crease angle for an entire object and does not let 
me choose to set different crease angles to each surface inside the same 
object. That's why I have to break the object in pieces when I want some 
of it's surfaces to have different crease angles than others. That's a 
pain :-( I don't know if that's a limitation of the .ac file format or 
of AC3D editor. I wonder if you can suggest me a way to avoid this 
limitation in AC3D.

I also think I could switch to other 3d file formats, any suggestions? 
What 3d file formats does FGFS support other than .AC? I'd prefer 
working with plain ascii files if possible but I will consider other 
more obscure ones if they provide more flexibility and fewer limitations.

  Roberto
