## Overview

This deserializer converts raw AMF formatted data (XML) to JSCAD scripts or geometries.

**NOTE: At this time, only XML files are supported, so unzip the original AMF file before proceeding.**

This deserializer converts only what is supported by JSCAD libraries.
Full document conversion is NOT supported, so don't even try.
However, conversion of AMF objects and materials are possible:

| AMF Entity      | JSCAD Geometry | Notes |
| --------------- | ------------ | ------ |
| mesh            | to geom3     | conversion of vertices and volumes |
| color           | color | color found at object, volume, and triangle are converted |

Also, if the 'USEMTL' (material) matches the name of a CSS3 color then the color is applied to the geometry.
