Hello Mathgroup!
I have a problem:
I need a list of Cuboids to be represented with the
Graphics3D procedure.
I would like to import this list of Cuboids from
a text file generated by another program, the text file looks like:
Cuboid[{3,3,3}]
Cuboid[{3,1,3}]
Cuboid[{3,2,3}]
Cuboid[{1,3,1}]
and so on...
The problem is however that after importing
the text file into a list in Mathematica, all the elements
of the list have the head String while the
Graphics3D requires them to have the head of Cuboid.
Is it possible to change the head of the
elements of this list from Sting to Cuboid?
Best regards,
