If you want to view and manipulate models from DXF format files, you could use VisView or VisMockup-

They both read DXF format. I have not used them to read DXF myself.

There are also some free DXF to VRML and DXF to Java3D convertors, but I have yet to see a good free one.

you could use POVRay as a raytracer. Download it from the software porting archive for example here: http://hpux.asknet.de/hppd/hpux/X11/Viewers/povray-3.1

More Information at www.povray.org. Do a search on DXF and import and you will find some information about importing DXF Files (2D and 3D) in POVRay.

Hope this helps.
