One way I've gotten around this is to export (solids only) in 3DS format,
then use "Crossroads" to convert from 3DS to WRL 2.0 then use the Java3D
VRML loader
I know that sounds like a long way around, but it does work, and isn't all
that much trouble.
One thing to keep in mind on AutoCad is to check your "FACETRES" setting I
think it defaults to 0.5, and I usually change it to 5.0 for a finer meshed
surface.
Good luck!
