Hi all
I was hoping that some of you could help me translate one 3ds model to some format that SW understands. (IGES etc)
This is completely not profitable, just for my personal use... friend of mine modelled an old Volvo Amazon on 3Dmax and I would like to render it with SW, just for fun.
Thanks, Arto
Hi Arto, E-mail me the file at snipped-for-privacy@massey.ac.nz and I'll convert it for you. Note that the model will be facetted as that's the way 3DS modles are, so it may not render very nicely in solidworks... depends how hi-res it is. Cheers Olaf
Try converting it to .stl format
ShapeWorks automatically converts 3DS files into SolidWorks you can get it at
