Exploding Models in AutoCad
Exploding Models in AutoCad
(OP)
Hi all,
I have exported a 3D model from xsteel as a 3D Dxf Faces, imported it into AutoCad 2004 and now wish to export it into 3D Studio Max for a presentation. The problem is that I need to explode/breakup the AutoCad model as when it is imported into 3D Max, it is one large block and I can't add different textures/effects.
Any Ideas?

you can also open Dgw files directly, edit them and save back to the dwg file. If you explode them then you lose all information and it'll be a pig to edit if you ever take it back into acad.
Incidentaly, you can also create multi-materials in 3DS and apply different submaterials to different faces ~ so there's no need to explode.
