Hello, everyone!
I am new to this forum and I want to expose you a problem hoping to solve it. . .
to make use of cinema 4d version r9...the 3d I have always done it with autocad.
I recently installed autocad 2010 and realized with great regret that 2010 does not export 3ds files (the ones with which I usually carry 3ds and then open it with cinema).
Is it possible to do something?maybe an autocad update or something?
I'm not a real computer expert. .I accept all advice!!
Thank you.
 
Yes but I would like to use 4d cinema(3d studio is too complex for me) and so I would need export files from autocad in 3ds
 
2010 unfortunately no longer has this possibility of export. only if there are third-party products (of course paid) you could solve.
 
may use 2009 (if you still have 1 copy installed), or export to acis or any other format exportable by autocad.
This of course if geometry is enough, and if 3ds can import them, I can't tell.
Hi.
 
mmm...so I should find version 12..I use the 9.. and I don't think the 12 is supported by my pc...
but in any case... if instead I opened the dwg with 3d studio max and then I create the export file in 3ds?
I saw on the autodesk site that there are programs to download and install on autocad that then allow export in 3ds...the problem is that they are compatible are up to autocad 2008

Well yes, this is obvious.
It also depends on that version of 3d studio max, the old versions did not support dwg.

what you refer to is a compatible autodesk utility up to autocad 2008. it was not for 2009, although some report that they managed to make it work on that version as well.
 
c4d has always imported dxf, even your version, go to preferences set the parameters as you want them, that I know color by level etc. cinema is a bomb for imports, fast and precise.
 
you also import dxf but the problem is that autocad 2010 does not export them!
 
I'm just going out of work and I'm going home I try!!!
you are great!!!I definitely less!
 
then with the dxf format the file opens it...the problem is that there is nothing...would you agree?
 
I believe at this point the intervention of someone using 4d cinema is necessary.
I throw it there: sure however that there are not very distant elements between them that make that with the zoom extension do not see anything in cinema?
 
consider that in order to overcome this problem I have enlarged the 3d to huge size!!
But (I don't know you're practical with c4d) when it opens it doesn't even show me the layers in the 3d...as if there was nothing... .
on the other hand I have found that the passage on 3d studio max helps because he exports to 3ds... I try to avoid installing 3ds max only for export..in any case thanks
 
from autocad I can not say, but from rhino the import in dxf is great. go to c4d preferences and set the parameters of import dxf, colors, levels etc. also make a test if possible: before exporting from autocad converts all solids into mesh, perhaps it does not automatically. in cinema also sets the unit of measurement.
 
the preferences found in the second menu above, I do not remember what it is called, in autocad sincerely I do not know, but there is definitely a command that converts solids into mesh.
 
I have the same problem. apparently export from autocad2010 (by exporting to dxf) in cinema 4d r13 but I actually see nothing....!!!
Has anyone sent back in the meantime?
