    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 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
