- I'm writing a graphics application that imports graphics objects from DXF
- files. The problem is, any simple object I create in my CAD program
- (DesignCAD/Mac) ends up as thousands of 3DFace's. Even a simple cube.
- Obviously, I don't want to deal with thousands of faces when the object only
- _really_ consists of a few. Therefore, I have to find some way of merging
- these faces. I haven't been able to come up with a good algorithm for doing
- this. Does anyone have any suggestions?
