macro model
Hey Mark! Howya been?
I'm not sure of the innards of ModelMover, as it was licensed from
Kandu software…it's a subset of their CADMover program, designed to
translate DXF, Sculpt 3D, Super 3D and IGES to 3DGF format for import
into Macromedia Three-D.
To the best of my knowledge, ModelMover does not do anything special
with layers, blocks, groups, and line colors.
If the translation is failing via that route, then options include
simplifying the layers, entities, etc. Have you checked ModelMover's
Log File for errors? Which release of AutoCAD are you using? DXF
translation often causes an explosion in file size…this in itself
can cause problems.
For the record, I rarely use ModelMover any more…I've been bringing
DXF in through MacroModel, saving, and then the geometry can be
directly imported into 3D Works. This route has the option of
converting layers to hierarchies.
