Import and export of IGES format would be great.......

But with as much trouble as I have with various CAD packages using IGES, I doubt it 
will ever work consistantly with Java3D.

The IGES standard has so many holes in it, it will never be a truly practical data 
fromat. For instance have you ever tried to open an IGES file in Unigraphics that was 
created in Catia? Our company has been trying for six months and still have not been 
successful. The problem is that if you don't have control of the export, you can never 
know how to setup the import. 

I always tell people, "if you want a perfect example of how NOT to write a data spec, 
take a look at IGES"

Anyway, that's just my opinion. I'd still like a Java3D import/export class, for the 
few times it might work.
