Importing 3D CAD design?

Hi All,

I have some models rendered in 3D via SolidWorks and would like to know if there's a way to import them into RF. I don't know if the KEmax software is capable of doing it and want to check before I try to redraw everything.

Thanks!

KeMax is a plug-in for 3DS Max. You will need this software to export into the sim. There is also a limit of 27,000 poly's that you have to work with if you're creating for RF7.5 or just 20,000 for 6.5 since you posted in the 6.5 forum.
 
Thanks! I have 3DS Max but haven't tried to use it since I typically use SolidWorks. I'll see if I can save my design to a format that 3DS likes and go from there.
 
You'll find that 3D models imported from elsewhere are not suitable for use in the sim nor is it worth it timewise to try to fix them.

You're better off starting from scratch in 3D Studio.
