Does anyone know the best place to find DXF models of various
geometrical shapes of all kinds? I know the 3DCafe has some free
models, but does anyone know where i can find a greater range?

many thanks
Neil

The .max format is the new 3d studio max file format. I don't think the
spec has been published and there doesn't seem to be any freeware/shareware
programs that will read/convert them.

You'll need either 3ds max or a commercial converter like PolyTrans (~$400
US) or Deep Exploration (starting at $300 US)
