Description:

  Read Blokjes is a module that imports blocks, or bricks,
  and creates geometric objects appropriate for the Geometry Viewer.
  The format is from a CFD package called FLOWTHERM from 
  Flowmerics Ltd., Kingston, Surrey, England, KT2 5AA.
  This module is only one part of a more extensive interface system.
  As each block is separate, the property on each one can be edited,
  changing colour, transparency, rendering mode, etc.
  Each block has a name, type, and start and end corner points.
  The first 4 lines of the file are ignored, assumed to be comments.
  Each line of data looks like:

partname    type                   xS     xE     yS     yE     zS     zE
--------    ----                 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
c3_duct     CUBOID               0.1300 0.1600 0.2100 0.2400 0.0300 0.0700

Example Data: See blokjes.dat file.

Note: "Blokjes" is Dutch for BLOCK, as this project was done on behalf
of a client in the Netherlands.
