Question: Export plot3d as vector graphics

Hi there,

I am using plot3d in worksheet mode to create a bunge of complex 3d-geometries containing "patches" (style = wireframeopaque) and wireframes (style = wireframe) representing the deformed and undeformed geometry of a system. I would like to export them as vector graphics since only then the results look nice enough to be used in a report.

When using Maple 12 rightclick->export->EPS, works nearly. Unfortunately the patches are not really clean and consist of triangles which do not always fit perfectly together so holes in the structure can be seen. This makes it quite insufficient.

When using the export-function in Maple 14 and 15 Maple doesn't procduce vector graphics from the plot3d (for plot in 2d it does) but a really bad pixel graphics. This is really insufficient.

Does anybody have an idea how to get nice vectorgraphics from 3d-plots? I tried some of the other formats (POV and DXF) but there was no "nice" solution without spending hours of postprocessing using AutoCAD etc..

Thanks a lot!
