dfx to iges to rhino 4 to maxsurf

[stuarth]

Hi people
I have to quote a build It is a cat sailing boat, I THINK it was drawn in Auto something or other as the surfaces were poly meshes, and could not develope
the designer sent the files as iges, , I open in r4, and send as iges to maxsurf, but only parts come through
many of the surfaces are compound, some heavily so, , maxsurf workshop would do the job IF I could get em into it
Anybody have autoship could read the meshes? or help in anyway at all,
ia m a builder not a real cad expert at all
thanks here is the deck as iges

darn file iges cant be uploaded

The forum allows .zip files. You could compress(zip) the iges file, then upload.

Or, for that matter, if the iges file is fairly small, the .igs extension could just be changed to .txt, then uploaded. The max size for a txt file is only 20kb though.

Rhino has a mutitude of iges export option - one is MaxSurf specific. See if the attached does any better job at getting into MaxSurf
