  • Pros

    • Imports polygon mesh data from 3DS files into Inventor
    • Converts triangular faces into trimmed planar surfaces automatically
    • Knits surfaces together to create integrated body features
    • Generates closed bodies from meshes without boundary edges
    • Provides a simple and user friendly interface for file conversion

  • Cons

    • Limited specifically to 3DS file format imports
    • Creates open surfaces if polygon meshes contain boundary edges
    • Processes only triangular mesh data structures
    • Lacks integrated mesh repair or cleaning utilities
    • Does not support direct editing of original mesh geometry

Developer’s Description

By SYCODE
Import polygon data from 3DS files into Inventor.

3DS Import for Inventor is a 3D Studio (.3ds) file import add-in for Inventor. This add-in gives Inventor the ability to import polygon data from 3DS files. 3DS Import for Inventor reads polygon mesh data stored in 3DS files and imports it into Inventor. A polygon mesh in a 3DS file is comprised of a set of triangular faces. 3DS Import for Inventor creates trimmed planar surfaces for each triangle and knits them together to create a body. If the polygon mesh is closed (it does not contain boundary edges) then 3DS Import for Inventor will create a closed body feature, otherwise an open surface will be created. 3DS Import for Inventor is very easy to use.
