We've been using terrain files in Inventor and flt formats for a geographic
vis/sim application. Several hundred objects are dropped onto the terrain and
remain at the point of their intersection with the terrain. We converted an
Inventor file to pfa format using pfconv. If the pfa file is used in the
application, the objects drop right through the terrain and come to rest at Z =
0. It behaves as if the intersection mask for the terrain was disabled. The
only change in code or procedure was the use of the pfa format for the terrain.
Is anyone familiar with this problem?

Thanks,
Bob Doyle
