    Default Some help importing 3d auto cad models into 3d max designer

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hello,

    I have an autocad 3d model of a house. I built the 3D completely in Autocad.

    when i import it into 3dmax design, i can't use the mouse to "fly through" the model.

    any suggestions?

    In a nutshell, I create 3D models from the client's CAD files or design sketches, which I then use to produce high quality rendered images. Click on the link in my signature to view my portfolio. I'm always looking for work, so let me know if you need any renders. :)

    What do you mean by "fly through"? You will need to set up a camera and camera path for a fly through.

    Or are you talking about simple viewport navigation? Use the middle mouse button to pan. Hold down the 'Alt' key and middle mouse button to orbit around. Use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out, or hold down the 'Alt' & 'Ctrl' keys and middle mouse for a more controlled zoom.
