Personally I feel your not going to get what you want because like as been said this is how 99% of Cam packages output there code for 3d surfaces. Obviously linux as a problem with this and CV or again you need to go ask the Linux technical guys over at there forum but again I don't think you'll have much "Simple" joy because I've heard complaints from several experienced CNC users that Linux is rubbish at CV.

I quote "simple" because like the post Ger linked to shows there is a Planner in progress that may solve this but then I think you'll be into messing with compiling machine code and programming etc which if your not into programming isn't simple. It's also IMO why Linux CNC gets labeled with the GEEK factor and what lets Linux down because the answer all too often is you have to resort to DIY programming machine code to get something fixed or working like you want it.!! . . . . . Which you shouldn't have to do this and esp for such a basic function as CV to use a CNC machine.
Jazz, have asked on the LinuxCNC forum and again was pointed to the New Projectory Planner, which i have to somehow install myself, i don't know much about the linux system. I spose thats what you get for free

Had a look at mach3 and was cheaper than i thought
