RhinoCAD to FMS??

[LarryRPark]

Does anyone know how I can export a CAD model in RhinoCAD 3 into a format that FMS can use?

The model weighs 12 grams and can fly in a room.

Regards,

can u export to .3ds format?

if so, export to .3ds, then get open the .3ds file in there, and export as a .X file and create a .par and all, then it should work

I was able to export to .3ds and install MetasequoiaLE2.1 from the link, but it gave the error 'bad file' on import and went no further

I may be able to convert it from 3DS for you to .mqo or .x format.

There are later versions of Metasequoia that read 3DS files but it doesn't get the textures.

I installed the directX SDK and used the conv3ds.exe utility to convert into an .x file. It converted and loaded into FMS without error, but I have a totally invisible airplane (
I tried the -s option from -.001 to 10000, but no plane.

Maybe I can email my .3ds file to someone to examine?

Sorry Larry I lost your address after I sent a putative conversion. Did you get it OK?
