Medical library-parts

Can anybody help me with furnitures for a medical praxis. I'm looking for a high bench and a gynecologist chair.!!

ArchiParts makes a suite of medical furniture for hospitals, dentistry and chiropraxis. These won't fit your bill, but they are ArchiCAD native. see ArchiParts.

For the type of equipment your looking for, your best bet would be to see if the manufacturer makes 3D Studio objects available and, barring that. try looking for 3DS files at TurboSquid. This is a clearing house for professionally made parts from people like Dosch Design and you will likely pay a bunch for something if you're able to find it.

Thanks,! how do I convert 3ds files to archicad library files. Can this only be done in 3ds program.?

[Aaron Bourgoin]

AutoCAD can convert its 3D content as 3DS. ArchiCAD 9 has a plug-in in the Goodies folder to bring 3DS into ArchiCAD.

If you find manufacturer objects you can drag and drop any i-drop enabled parts into archiCAD from a web browser. Somehow I doubt that the suppliers to the gynecological trade are this organized. Prove me wrong.

Would you be looking for photo-realistic people to go into that chair also

Jeez. Dentists have it good re. GDL (objects online is overflowing with the stuff), I am looking for a standard, GP medical exam table (with stirrups) .... I though this would be simple. While I found what I was looking for on turbosquid, it is of course not parametric (and at $250 for the collection, er, still not worth it).

Has anyone made a parametric exam table like this one, or like the Ritter models?
