3ds. to gsm. ? the best way to do it.

My question is whether is there or not a plug-in that can allow me to import 3ds. models into ArchiCAD, without getting huge files and without losing the quality of the curved surfaces.

The easy way seems to be to export from 3dsmax a dxf. file that can be later opened in ArchiCAD> However if the object is more cpmplex (a car for example) the object itself will contain a huge amount of polygons.

Dwight,

I've been reading people respond rather highly about your book. Im curious how I can order the book? Do you have a site set up or do you take orders in here? I searched for a posting that talks about how to order the book but i found nothing.

Thanks.

Thank you for the inquiry.

As stated in my signature at the bottom of each of my postings - albeit rather cryptically - anyone can order the book from me by doing the following:

Sign up with PAYPAL if you are not already a member. Paypal is the international system for transferring small amounts of money and is free for the sender.

Sign up with your credit card at PAYPAL : www.paypal.com

Send US$95.00 if in America or
US$110.00 if elsewhere, to:

info.beginnernomore@telus.net

The book will ship immediately by air mail.

I am grateful to all ArchiCAD TALK Forum members for their support in producing this fine book. Attached is the Table of Contents.
