I just imported a DXF file from Autocad to 3DS, I was just wondering if anyone knows of any special treatment that these files should recieve when setting them up for rendering or are they the same deal as a regular 3DS file?

Hi Jim, << ..dxf into 3ds.. >> One place to start is to review the tips found on pg. 3-40 of the 3ds Reference Manual.

<< I never did enjoy reading maunals, but there is always a first time! >> I'd say it's impossible to become fluent with 3DS without cracking the books. 🙂 You may find additional insights into efficient DXF->3DS issues in the "Inside 3DS for R4" book that had contributions/chapters written by several architects. You may want to peruse it at your local bookstore.
