Andreas Wallraff wallraff at enix.physik.rwth-aachen.de Germany (0)241/159875 Hi MathGroup Is there somebody out there in the wide world of Mma-Users, who has some experience with Mma Graphics3D function? I have written a Mma-package that produces 3 dimensional Graphics of ropes. My package calculates the polygons perfectly, but Mma seems to be unable to display large ammounts of polygons. The smallest problems involve displaying about 5 000 polygons. But there will be problems with 200 000 polygons. I do not understand, why Mma needs so much time to display these polygons. Despite the time it also needs lots of memory (20 MB of RAM are sufficient for small problems). But I can not imagine why Mma needs so much memory for this kind of problems. Probably there is sombody who has the same problems with Mma Graphics3D function and who has found a work-around or a fix for this problem! I am really interested in your experiences with this problems. Perhaps somebody knows some programms, that can import the raw-data of my polygons and then display them within the programm itself. Perhaps there is a programm that is more speciallized to this kind of graphic-problems. Thanks Andreas Wallraff West Germany wallraff at enix.physik.rwth-aachen.de
