I've been working on converting the code to work with Inventor. I'm still ironing out some bugs, but with some luck I can post vtkActorToIV within a week or two. I have everything compiling, but running it still reveals some inconsistencies. The current code makes a lot of NodeKits since it was easier to program initially, but for speed I need to strip out the kits and optimize the scene graph some more.
