Most of the available options are self explanatory and you can decide for yourself how you want the model to be generated. The Import AutoCAD DWG File dialogue box allows you to set a whole range of variables which determine how the AutoCAD drawing will be interpreted when it is transformed into a MAX model. However, in this case we have a single drawing object, so the "Completely replace…" option will do just fine. This can be useful if you are constructing a number of elements in AutoCAD and then using MAX to assemble them into a scene prior to render or animation. The "Merge objects…" option can be used to add AutoCAD drawings to existing MAX drawings. This effectively creates a new MAX drawing from your AutoCAD original. When the DWG Import dialogue box appears, click the "Completely replace current scene" radio button and click the "OK" button to proceed. Highlight the file by clicking it once and then click the "Open" button. First, use the drop-down list at the bottom of the dialogue box to set "Files of type" to "AutoCAD (*.DWG)", then navigate your way to the file you want to import. The Select File to Import dialogue box will appear. When the application has loaded, select File Import… from the pull-down menu. If you downloaded the zipped version, you will need to unzip the drawing file first. Save the file to the directory where you keep your AutoCAD drawing files. The Zip file can be uncompressed with a utility such as WinZip.ģD-Trees.dwg (30KB) - AutoCAD R14 Drawing File There are two download options, you can either download the native AutoCAD drawing file or you can download the smaller compressed version. Click on the icon below to download the AutoCAD drawing file 3D-Trees.dwg. If you wish to use your own drawing, skip to the next section.
If you do not have a 3D AutoCAD drawing to use or if you wish to follow this tutorial closely, you may like to download the sample file before you continue with the tutorial. AVI files can also be embedded within PowerPoint presentations along with text and other graphics to really demonstrate your design proposals. AVI file which can be viewed on any Windows PC. All you need to start is an AutoCAD drawing with some 3D content. This tutorial shows how to create an animated walkthrough of your AutoCAD 3D model using 3DS MAX 5. You can, of course, create slides of perspective views and show them one after the other using a script file (see " Perspectives, Slides and Scripts" for details) but this doesn't begin to approach the quality of animation which can be produced with the aid of some other software utilities. However, one thing you can't do with AutoCAD is animate a 3D model. AutoCAD is a very flexible tool and it can be used for a wide variety of tasks.
