rubyredster Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Hi, I've tried the following suggestion for importing AutoCAD 2000 dwg. 3D solids: Create a copy of the file to work on. In AutoCAD, export as 3D Studio format. Select All when prompted Options: AutoCAD Object Type, Auto-Smoothing, 5 degrees Then: Insert 3D Studio object - select file Options: Add All, save to layers By Object ... when I do this, I get a message that says "Internal error number 8 - 3D Studio file import terminated". Can someone help me with this? I am running Vecterworks 9.5.2 Thanks. Quote Link to comment
0 Adam E Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Can you import a 3d studio object into VectorWorks? I never could, but I have tried. Quote Link to comment
0 Matthew Giampapa Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 3D Studio will let you save a file or selected objects as a DXF. VectorWorks can then read them fine as 3D polygon based shapes. At the moment, a client has a rather large body of work we would like to leverage in VectorWorks, so I am going to try to find a way to get all these 3D Stuido files into IGES so we can keep the curved surfaces.
