How to import CAD or PROE modeling into 3DMax for rendering

The first and second floors are fooling people!

Generally, proe, this software is often converted to some IGS, STP, and other 3D formats. And this format is all used in the world.

But among the many 3D rendering software, only 3D Max is incompatible. If you don't believe me, you can try. In the 3D Max save format option, you can't find a 3D format that is compatible with Proe.

That's not to say you don't have to do it. Here I recommend you a software that is 95% similar to 3D Max.

It's C4D rendering software, and it's all about being universal"Rags"with"Kill the pot"Tailor-made imitation 3D Max software. Nowadays, the vast majority of appearance engineers use this software to render products. After all, if you only use 3D Max to make the shape, it is far less powerful than the professionally designed 3D Proe!

If the landlord really wants to learn this knowledge, don't trust others. You can find learning materials on some professional designs**. Here I will give you one more magic weapon!

This is a proe in the pro ** that explains in detail how to render the work and some of the problems in it!

Since you can use CAD modeling, you can open it in 3DMAX, but you just chose the wrong way to open it. I don't believe you as I said, try to create a small file first: CAD builds the mold and saves it directly to the default format of CAD - then open 3DMAX - select Import - select the format of the imported file as the format of the CAD file - select the file you want to open to complete.

Save the file in your modeling software or enter it in a format that 3DMax can recognize

Open 3dmax and see what formats it can open, and then see what file formats the modeling software can output, and find the same one Generally this kind of software interworks with files like igs stl obj You can try it

CAD can be converted to 3DS format for import.

Proe can save a copy in STL format, remember to change the chord height and angle to the smallest possible value, to ensure that the converted object is smooth and does not break the surface.

Why can't you open it??? CAD export in 3DS format and import in 3D.

Step 1: Review the CAD drawings to ensure that the scale ratio between the drawings and the physical object is 1:1 to ensure the correctness and uniqueness of the drawings drawn in the subsequent steps.

Step 3: In the axonometric drawing, the three-dimensional rotation is used to rotate the projection relationship of each drawing, so as to facilitate and ensure the drawing stretch size relationship in the PROE. At the same time, different views are placed on different layers and colored to show the difference, so that the different line sizes can be easily identified in the subsequent PROE drawing.

Finally, the drawing center of the successor PROE is determined on the surface, and the coordinate origin is added.

Step 5: According to the prepared 2D diagram, 3D design the lines of different view faces, and the dimension relationship can be directly stretched to the selected reference according to different views. The result is a complete 3D drawing.

Step 6: Hide the imported drawing references, retain the required 3D structure, save the layer state, and a complete 3D part structure is completed.

1. Usually the file exchange between different engineering software is generally in STP or IGS format, but because 3DMax does not support STP files, the import of IGS files into 3DMax will also have a lot of bad surfaces, which cannot be operated, to make PROE files can be directly imported into 3DMAX, we usually use PROE to save as a TTL format file, STL file is a triangular grid file, and the 3D software on the market basically supports this format.

2. After clicking OK, an STL parameter panel will pop up, and the size of the default STL parameter triangle is too large, so that the exported surface is not smooth enough, especially when the surface is curved.

3. In chord

Enter 0 in the height field, and the system will give the minimum parameter of the triangle with the minimum accuracy, and then click on the angel

If you enter a number greater than 1 in the control column, the system will automatically set it to 1The result is as many triangles as possible, and the surface will be as smooth as possible. Other parameters are set by default.

4. After setting the parameters, click Preview to see that the main window will highlight the approximate number of triangles of the component, if you are not satisfied, then change the parameters.

5. After saving the STL file, open the 3DS

MAX software.

6. Select File Menu --> Import File, and select the STL file you just saved.

7. Then a parameter window will pop up, here I have an experience to share, it is best to choose fast welding and automatic smoothing, otherwise sometimes the import file will take a long time, and it will fail, especially the file with a lot of triangles and the assembly file with part interference.

8. Finally, after the STL file is successfully imported, we can render and other related operations in 3DMAX.

Said to lead into the format of IGES.

And then into the rhinoceros.

From the rhinoceros to the lead.
