Hi, could some thought be given to a BMO import filter for TFP ??
This would allow favourite objects to be transferred complete with sizes and textures from legacy FP plans.
Okay, they would lose their 'live' properties, but would avoid the round-about route of exporting from FP mini-plan as DXF, extraction in TC, re-saving as 3DS, importing to TFP, re-scaling and re-texturing etc etc...
A bold alternative might be to accept that BMO is now a 'legacy' format, and offer documention to eg Zoltan Karpati for inclusion in his ubiquitous 3DOC...
