Worked well on first try of a fairly complicated housing for a medical device. My coworker was able to import directly into 3DMAX with very few problems. The second part I tried to export failed. I tried several resolutions. Solidworks kept crashing. May be that I am using SW2011. I finally set it on lowest resolution, but the 3DMAX import was distorted and useless.

Opinion Good plug-in. Working with SW2008. Very limited trial. 10 items only were converted. I can not buy it for one use for personal home design.

Quadrilateral Mesh I think this add-in would be greatly improved if there was an option for quadrilateral meshes rather than, or in addition to, triangular...

Lack of Color and x64 edition It worked fine in exporting files to 3DS format. The parts came in one color, even when our part had multiple colors for different faces. It will be better of the resulting file preserves the colors of the original SolidWorks.It was not able to added as a Add-In into SolidWorkd x64 edition. I think it is the way how the installation is done.

high res? not high enough When the export is imported into 3d studio max at its highest resolution the result is far from a smooth result. The model wasn't to a high resolution.

Doesn`t work I tried several different SolidWorks objects and the conversion was incomplete, so I could not use the output. I gave the interface a "fair" score because it seems intuitive. If the incomplete conversion was related to settings, then I'd suggest the interface is the problem. I gave both features and price/value a score of "poor" because it didn't convert properly. If it did, I'd rate the price/value a "fair" as I believe $195 for a conversion routine is about 5x too high. It is easy to use once installed as an addin. So that got my best rating.

it doesnt work for me with sw2009

A great add on if you can't enable the mesh import feature in Solid Works.

This works pretty well but depends on the size of the files and the complexity of the model. Has problems with assemblies.

This software doesn't work: I installed it on my Solidworks 2007 version and as soon I clik on one of menu's item, an error message appears and solidwoks collapse.Do you have any comment on this situation?Regards

The import by 3DS is working very well The import is working very well

Review to 3DSImport Add in I downloaded the add-in, and make conversion of some complicated 3DS model - the result is more then bad! Some features are absent absolutely, and some surfaces is present only on the model and not in features list, many of surfaces have not valid solutions on their connections...I think that program needs some improvements with relation to its price.\Sincerely,

The download is not bad. However, the choice and range of components are quite limited. I suppose, it would take time for a more complete range of components to be published.Many thanks.W.Phua

Director of Product Development I was trying to see if your SW would work in conjunction with a Solid Works Viewer, but it either does not, or I made some error in applying the Importer.

Loaded easy enough I found the software downloaded easily and installed with ease. In the end I found another way to import what I needed that more closely fits my needs, however what I used worked.

3dm import will only import 2d line data, not solid info as would be expected/usefull. a simple export form rhino to dwg will do the job just as well.furthermore it will not uninstall correctly, so acad will promt every startup for the lost application, really anoying.so don't use 3d import; you don't need it.

script where ? .............

How do I see a site which have already used your product ??You can get back to me on ebin.m@armiasystems.comEbiniScripts.com

Wonderful. Definitely a great one and I liked it.

I tried to use this plugin in 3ds max 2009, and it did not work. I know from your documentation that it did not mention that it would, but wanted to try none the less.ThanksDeven Winters

3DS Max into Lightwave with ease Hi, here at Live Action Digital, we are very satisfied with the effectiveness and ease of use of this plugin. With so many models available in the online community that are in native 3DS MAX format, and our animation studio being filled with Lightwave users, this plugin fills a large need that we had. Thank you for the excellent plugin.

i have been trying to get software activated for the last four hours and support for this software is not up to standards

This chart is very nice.
