Does any body know where I can find a 3D dirt bike model? Thanks.
Sorry for this repsonse: if you are looking for a SW model, can't help (I know, not much help). However, if you need "just" a 3D model, try www.turbosquid.com" for starters. Hope this helps... MT
ShapeWorks can open any 3DS, OBJ, LWO files in SolidWorks files and assemblies. There are thousands of 3DS file on Internet. ShapeWorks is located at www.baren-boym.com Michael
Hi Michael, This is very interesting news to me! Do they come in as "solids" or as graphical representations? In other words, once they're brought in , can you cut-extrude etc.? I realize that you (may not?) be able to manipulate the surfaces, or can you? How much is ShapeWorks? I would LOVE to see an example model of something that has benn converted from a poly mesh to a SW solid. Thanks! Mike Tripoli
Michael, once you bring the 3DS file into SW it is still polygonal mesh. You have several options: 1. ShapeWorks can automatically convert 3DS file into solidworks solid or surfaces. But it is still represented as small surfaces patches. SEE THE USER GUIDE 2. You can recreate SW geometry by automatically creating 3D sketch in the plane sections. Michael
