3ds Max :: FBX Files Importing As Splines Not Geometry?
Mar 4, 2014
i am going through the different model Layers exporting them as FBX files and importing them into 3DS Max to make renders.
However on some of my imports i only get Splines and not the actual geometry?
I am using Navisworks 2014 SP1 and 3ds Max 2013
System information: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, 3ds Max 2014 SP 3, GTX Geforce 650 OC, i7 Quadcore 4770 3.4GHZ, 12GB Cosiar DDR3 RAM, Cosair 600Watt PSU, Gigabyte z87-d3hp MotherBoard

i used to do a lot of spline extracting from geometry, mostly to use sweep modifier to modeling. But i usualy got a problem when i do that, some of the splines are "flipped" (or reversed), causing a problem in sweep geometry. In attached image, i extracted the splines from the faces below, and when i apllied the sweep, some of the splines get a different result. I tried to collapse the spline, reverse, flip the geometry normals, reset xform, create another spline and attach the extracted one, and nothing solved the problem. What i usualy do is to detach part of the spline and apply the modifier twice.

is any way to import splines into 3Ds Max without using Adobe Illustrator. I have Sketchbook Designer and Inkscape, and the DWG/DXF files they produce do not import into Max.

If I have imported a large multi-spline object, is there a way to bust it up into separate splines easily -- without having to detach each one individually?

How in import 2D geometry into Inventor so I do not have to redraw the profile, only extrude the existing geometry. I tried to export from Autocad a IGES file, and then create a sketch plane in Inventor and project the geometry onto the sketch plane, but I ended up with a bunch of open loops. Perhaps, I have figured it out and real question is how to I close open loops?

I have a batch of igs and stp files that I have to import into max and on some of them I am getting this strange issue where its almost like the boolean operation has failed and where there should be a piece cut out I am getting an extra piece of geometry in the shape of the cutout.
The image will make more sense, as you can see I am getting these extra tubes rather than the groove that should be there.
I am using Max 2014.

I recently purchased Video Studio Express 2010 and cannot import avi files that were created using a Flip. I have tried importing them from both my hard drive and a flash drive. VSE does not recognize the avi files on either drive. I have been able to import mpg files without any problems.

I am new to using Video Studio Pro. I would like to animate my Paint Shop Pro png files or gif files with Video Studio. I figured out how to make the video work and figured out how to change the speed on individual frames. My problem is saving the project. I can only save it as a VSP file and it is too big to upload to Photo bucket. The whole animation is 15KB.
Can you change the save as file extension to include animated gifs?

Using AutoCad LT2011, import a EMF file to be used as an overlay. The WMF availability is the old version and the other software I am using exports a EMF file and AutoCad LT2011 does not recognize this extension.

I am have been importing a set of igs files and one of them is not displaying in my viewport. It's the lagest file size of the bunch at 285Mb, I believe all of the files were created in Solidworks.
The process I use is: create a new blank file in Max and import the file, but when the import is completed I just get a single line displayed in the viewport(see attachment).
I have left the import running overnight and still get the same result. I also get the same result if I import in a previous version of 3DS Max 2011. I downloaded a free CAD application to see if that could open the file and it gave me a decent wire frame image of the product I was hoping for, but I could not re-save it (benefits of free software!!).
I am using 3DS Max 2013, Win 7 Pro SP1, 64-bit, 2x Intel Xeon 2.93GHz processors, 24Gb Ram with a Quadro 4000 graphics card, running Version 310.90 drivers (I have not 'manged' 3D settings though). So I am guessing this is a graphics display issue due to the size of the iges file, but any way of optimising my viewport or some free software that can convert an iges file into something more managable for Max to import?
Unfortunately I am unable to upload the iges file or an image of the wireframe model from the other free application due to the sensitivity of the content.
3DS Max 2014 x 64.
Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit, 2 x Intel Xeon 2.93GHz, NVIDIA Quadro 4000, 24GB Ram.

I am trying to import DGN (Microstation) files in AutoCAD but it does not work. Initially, I had tried with ACAD version 2012 and subsequently tried versions 2011 and 2010. Neither worked.
I think I have read most of the threads relating to this topic, but none seem to address my case, which is:
I use dgnimport command, select the file and check the following options: Import in the current drawing, Ignore duplicate names, desgin model from DGN file "Default", translate references to blocks or xrefs, DGN units to convert to Master units, mapping setup "Standard". I click OK.
What happens next is... nothing. Well, not exactly. It does import layers, text styles, blocks, etc. But there is nothing (no drawing) in the model or paper spaces. And from previews and accompanying pdf files, there should be plenty of drawing objects in the file.
The only error log I can see from the text window is that four DGN line styles could not be resolved. But I am hesitant to think such a minor issue would cause the whole drawing to be missing.

I am trying to import-copy- a group of .dxf files (more than 50) using VBA. The idea is to copy the data from this files in anyway, either opening the file using copy command in the original files and the paste command in the final file, using insert or the regular import option.

I am trying to import dielines that are either dwg or dxf files into illustrator so I can add artwork and send to the vendor. How to Import them? I tried importing them as EPS files, but they were always scaled down to an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper. I need these dielines to keep their actual size.

I have a problem whem importing dxf files into cs6. All texts are aligned to the left.
I have a program that generates dxf and when importing the same file into cs2 the alignment works fine, both to the left, to the right and center.
When i'm creating a design with text in illustrator and exporting as a dxf all text rows are aligned to the left when importing the same file again? That happens in both cs2 and cs6.
I need to get this solved before I leave cs2 and buy cs6.

I am trying to create a shape layer out of a vector layer. When I import my .ai file to AE cs6, add it to a compisition, right click selecting create shape from vector layer I get a grey box. I am assuming this is a transparency issue in Illustrator, but I never use Illustrator so I cant figure out how to fix it.

I upgraded to LR3.6 today for LR3. Now Lightroom cannot read any files I try to import. I tried re-installing. Would it be safe to overwrite 3.6 with 3.0?

I started editing a session on my laptop using LR3. I now want to move them to my desktop and edit them on LR4. (I know I need to make them the same version, but alas...) When I try to import them, they are greyed out and no allowing me to import. I saved them as dng files on a flash drive to move them over.

I am trying to import footage shot on a Sony PMW-200 camera into PP 7. I was wondering what files need to be imported into PP 7, i.e. the .mxf files. the .xml files, etc. I am getting footage into the project, but it is not playing in the source window, and I also don't have any audio.

"preview Unavailable"did some more shooting today and same thing.when I downlaoded yesterday the images were not there, so I did a fresh import & it tells me there are no new images for import as I have 'don't import suspected duplicates ticked. I unticked this option and selectively imported the missing files - they came up but next to a duplicate thumbnail had that ?

I've recently upgraded to Corel Draw X5 having used many previous versions (back to Corel 6) but i'm having a few issues when importing .EPS files.
I normally do a design in AutoCAD, then export to .eps, then import into Corel.
Im finding an issue though, when I import an EPS that contains text, the middle section of the text will not combine and fill correctly.
For example, if I were to import a letter "Q" when I then combine the outer section to the middle section in previous versions the letter would appear normally, with a "Hollow" inner section. However, in X5, I combine the letter and the inner section does not combine with the outer section, leaving me with a solid black symbol, with the outline of a letter "Q" but no centre piece to define the actual character.

I am using Corel VideoStudio ProX4 to build a small movie and am having a problem with AVI files. When I go to Step 2 Edit, and click on the folder icon to "Import Media Files" I can see a set of mp4 and avi files I would like to use in my project.
The mp4 files open fine and play just fine. The avi files were opening fine last night, but would play in a jerky manner when an audio track was laid over them. I blew away that project and today tried to go to Step 2 Edit, Import Media files, and tried to import the avi files again now I get this message:
File format mismatch
1081:1:3
It will no longer let me import, play, edit the avi files. These files play fine in Windows Media Player so I'm not sure what is going on. I just installed Service Pack 2 yesterday, and I'm thinking this may be causing the problem.

I have multiple .VOB and other files in a "VIDEO_TS" folder that I can't import using either the "File/Insert Media to Timeline" or the "Capture/Insert Digital Media" function of this VS Pro X2 software version. In both attempted instances I am presented with a error message that reads: 'Not a valid DVD Volume. Report ID: 0x8000408fe(2302)".
As background, these .VOB originated from my own personal DVD's recording that failed to "finalize" due to an electrical disconnect with that Liton recorder, or software failure. Using the Isobuster software, and the page 3 instructions for it found on the excellent website of [URL] ..., I created the file that I'm attempting to import into VS. I don't believe this remedial step of using Isobuster is the cause of my VS problem, as the .VOB files it created are functional as proven by their playing in VLC media player software. Thus, I don't want to be chasing ghosts along that path, unless you can be certain that is where I should be going.

I have just moved to VSP5 from 4 and am having difficulty importing .cr2 files in Capture. Same photo files go satisfactorily into v.4 but are apparently ignored by the new version. Am I missing a setup or preferences step?
To make this point more specifically: I have created test folders containing mixed .mov, .jpg and .cr2 files - only the .mov are recognised. I have also created a test folder containing only .jpg and .cr2 files. On Capture, VSP5 reports "There is no valid content".
