The easiest way to load the file is:
ModelLoader loader = new ModelLoader();
Scene scene = loader.load("C:\columbia.dxf");
There are other examples included in the NCSA Portfolio documentation.
We've corrected some bugs and added some features to the loaders. One
problem in particular that broke a few of the loaders (all the binary file
formats) was how the defaults fro Reader classes are implemented in Java
2. We've fixed that bug here. If you can't get the file to load
correctly, please send me the file, and I'll see if we can get it to load
here with the updates. The next version should be out fairly soon (I'm
doing builds and testing them now).
