There are various downloads of the Import method, which can be used to import an OpenOffice drawing into a DiagramDocument, whose pages correspond to the Draw pages. You can also import your *.odg file into a single Diagram whose content is merged from all imported pages. Currently we support shapes from the General and Flowchart shape palettes in draw.

DiagramView3D adds a 3D model to the scene for each node or link of the specified diagram. By default, nodes always face the camera, unless the NodeRotationType property is set to None.
