Import Autodesk 3ds MAX Files


You can import a 3DS file created with Autodesk® 3ds MAX®.


It is possible to import Geometry and rendering data from 3ds MAX. This means that it includes also meshes, materials, mappings, lights, and cameras. You need to be careful though, because procedural materials and smoothing groups aswell as keyframe data cannot be imported. Also, you need to keep in mind that imported objecst are assigned a color that will be as close as possible to the object’s 3ds MAX color.


Use CONVERTOLDLIGHTS and CONVERTOLDMATERIALS for lights and materials. Lights will be converted to the nearest equivalent.


It is possible that the name of any 3ds MAX object conflicts with a name that already exists in the AutoCAD drawing. In that case a sequence number gets assigned to the 3ds MAX name gets in order to solve this conflict. Or another scenario is that the name may get truncated to resolve the conflict.
