DirectX Interaction

    I found a few posts on this board that that ask about SolidWorks
    support / conversion to DirectX over OpenGL. This question is a bit
    different.

    Has anyone tried, (ok, I'll be really optimistic here) or found a good
    way to go from a SolidWorks part or assembly file to a DirectX mesh
    (.x) file? I'm looking to use SolidWorks models in a separate DirectX
    based application.

    Matthew,


    At the nuts & bolts level, all triangle based mesh files are the same,
    (display list tesselation, STL, VRML, etc).

    You can probably find a converter to go from STL to DirectX mesh.

    Mark,

    Thanks for the quick reply. I actually already went the route through
    STL (should have included that in the original post) and into DirectX
    but STL loses display attributes like color. Will take a look at VRML
    to see if that lets me get into DirectX with additinal info.
