Hi everyone!
I need to import a model inside Sketchup from 3dsmax.
I use the .3ds format and all works correctly, but I'd like that the model manteins the same position and coordinates that it had inside 3dsmax, instead once inside Sketchup I have to put the model in a random position with the help of some Snap and it's not exactly what I need, for the reason that inside Sketchup there's already a part of the model, and the two parts (one from 3dsmax and the other inside Sketchup) had to match together.

I hope I was cleare enough.

Thank you very much for any advice.

Welcome on the Dutch forum!

I do not have any experience with 3Dsmax and SketchUp, so I don't know the excact answer. But I think it's not (ready) possible , sorry...

PS: Nice site!

Thank you very much.

I think me too I can't.
Ok nevermind.

Thank you very much anyway.

But at this point I've noticed that there's a sort of "incompatibility" with Sketchup Units Measurement and 3dsmax units measurement.

1unit in 3dsmax doesn't corrispond to 1unit in Sketchup.

Someone could explain please?

Thank you a lot.

By the import option in Sketchup you can select 3ds format files, at this screen you can see an button "Options" Select by Scale your units, now it must be correct.

Ben ik soms op het verkeerde forum?
Ik meen dat dit een Dutch forum is.

Een verwijzing naar het Engelse forum lijkt mij een gepaste reactie voor ossosso .

Idd, ik had zijn site niet gezien. Wow.... maar dat neemt niet weg dat dit een Nederlandstalige forum is.

yesss, thank you very much Respect, I didn't notice that button .
Using the .dxf format there's also an option "Preserve drawning origin" that's exactly what I need .

I didn't understand the last messages you have posted, 'cause I don't understand dutch.

I hope it's all right

Thank you again.
