Hello,

The problem might be ACE converter. ACE does not always list all points
on a polyline correctly.

Look at the ACE output file with a plain text editor. Seperate groups of
points wherever the Z axis is raised. See if you can join some point
lists with other point lists to form larger point lists. Some of the
point lists may be in reverse order. If so, then you need to use the
editor to reverse the order of the points.
