Civil 3D Surface - Max?

Recommended Posts

I'm using 2009 on both versions.

 

Currently I'm Exporting my Civil 3D surface to an AutoCAD dwg & then going from there. Is there another way? Also same question but for other Civil 3D entities i.e road design.

I want to export from Civil 3D to Max

 

and I'm wondering what is the most efficient method.

 

and also, I wouldn't mind knowing if you can link a Civil 3D file to MAX so it's used kinda like an XREF, so if say a road was amended, then it would auto update in Max.

 

Still not sure how I want to play it yet exactly.

You can use the "File Link Manager" in Max, (File Menu > File Link Manager), to import the .dwg. This is similar to xreffing in Autocad, and any changes made in Civil 3D will then auto-update Max.

Ah ok, think I was being an idiot, I thought you had to export it as a different file type and then re-import it, will try directly importing it.

 

Cheers mate
