I don't really know where to post this.....

 

 

Does anyone know If it's possible to inport a "Solid works" moddel to "3DS" or "Blender"????

 

 

 

 

 

-Yes..., I'm still Dutch-

Maybe by exporting as a obj, dxf or dwg. Blender however only supports the first two. You will however probably lose some of the information about the model in the process, and will need to fix for things like face normals, smoothing, scale, among other things.

Thanks..., I gues I'll just give it a try then. :happy:

 

As an engineer I work with A-CAD and SW almost evry day..., but those arty programs are just horrible, you can't even draw a staight line without having to do god nows watall.

 

 

Thanks again. :thanks:

Actually, 3dsmax has been getting better at it over the years. But yeah, for the most part, they are still far better for creating more free-form shapes, or things which just look close, than they are for anything with very specific dimentions. You can still get the percision within Blender and 3Dmax, but it requires a bit more effort and familiarity with the program. A lack of percision for Oblivion elements can actually be a good thing really, expecially if working with more natural components.
