7Parella Posted March 11, 2000 Share Posted March 11, 2000 is there a way to import .3dmf files into VectorWorks 8.0.1? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 15, 2000 Share Posted March 15, 2000 The import image files options under the File pull down menu when quick time 4 is installed will sho the types of files that Vectorworks can import. If your file type is not supported do some research and try to find a program that will take your file type and convert it into a format Vectorworks can use. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 15, 2000 Share Posted March 15, 2000 You should know that .3dmf files are not image files, but rather 3D models. The 3dmf (3D metafile) format is a standard that was agreed upon by Apple and SGI years ago and which is rather popular in some circles. 3dmf files are written and read by QuickDraw 3D, Apple's 3D graphics subsystem which has become part of QuickTime and which will eventually be replaced by OpenGL. Since VectorWorks includes a QuickDraw 3D renderer, it's not unreasonable to think that it also can or should read/write 3dmf files. I don't believe that we do this, however. Quote Link to comment
