Hi all
Just saw something interesting. Max VS Sketchup have reversed results with lines imported from AutoCAD with DEFAULT settings. (I'm talking lines, not polylines)
In AutoCAD if you have lines that are EXTRUDED, then Max will import this great as a mesh. Sketchup refuses to accept the "3d" mesh and just imports a flat line
BUT
In AutoCAD if you have lines with a THICKNESS, then Sketchup will gladly import this as a 3d mesh, but Max refuses.
Just thought I'd share this as somebody somewhere may have had issues with this
P.S.
For those people unfimiliar with AutoCAD, an extruded line is the same as an extruded line in Max, but a line with a thickness is a cheat that make it appear to be extruded in AutoCAD, when in fact it's just a viewport thing. In the old days lot of people use to give lines a thickness, thinking that they are doing "3d modelling" in AutoCAD.
