Doing a Performer to Inventor Conversion is a wonderful thing because it
enables one to get from a format like Multigen to IV.

However, I did this recently and the trouble is:

        The output is generated from a SceneGraph Traversal and has the
        performer pfd optimized groupings. This means that the geometry
        can be fractured beyond belief. Things with textures stay in tact
        But all the red objects get grouped, all the blue polygons get
        grouped. And this has nothing to do with what the logical-original
        groupings were.

I waded through a lot stuff trying to regroup everything. Wrote some tools for
it. I finally was done, and the end result was that nobody could tell the
difference, yeah. And I can look at the model with ivview on my indy.

I will be watching for the posted PerfToIv to see if the above stated problem
can be addressed with any success.
