RMdecor Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I am trying to open a file in cad that I made in 3ds max. Basically the curved tubes that I made is a nurb object but it wont show up in cad when I export it as a .dwg, .3ds, or .dxf from max. How can I make the nurb object into an editable spline that will open in CAD? Thank you for any suggestions as I am running out of ideas.

DavidR Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 In Max, press f4 to see the tesselation of your nurbs object. Next go to the modify panel, and play with the surface approximation settings until you're happy with the tesselation. After that, you can collapse to mesh or poly and export .3ds, .dwg, etc., which should open exactly what you see in Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
