I guarantee you that every 3D entity that you can create in AutoCAD will be imported into 3DSr2. I DOUBLE-GUARANTEE IT. If some of the entities didn't come through in the shaper, it's because they are not valid entities (for some reason). If they were created in AME (which they probably weren't) it may be what Greg said regarding their not being SOLMESH'd first. Otherwise, it may be because they are open polylines (these are invalid entities that may only be brought in as lofter paths and animation paths), or another of the few bizarre entities that aren't topologically valid. There are so many ways to create things in AutoCAD that it invariably happens. The main test is that if you can render it in AutoShade, it'll come into 3DS. – G
