Hi Paul, I don't personally use any UML tools. Doxygen is able to output some UML style diagrams show class relationships.
As how render UML in 3D, I guess this is just a graph generation problem, once you have your UML graph you'd need to compute the layout in 3D, this would give you extra flexibility over layout 2D, but with this flexibility is extra varaibles that aren't constrained... so you need to work out how you want to set your constraints on the geometry generation that visually make sense to one viewing a 3D UML diagram. The other possible approach would be to do a 2D UML diagram but use LOD and freeform zooming/panning of camera across the map to make it easier to handle larger/more complex UML diagrams. Personally I find scroll bars and zoom buts a right pain in the butt with most 2D based interfaces, the easy zooming you get in 3D is real fluid in comparison. Robert.
