Hey list,
I was waiting for a 64bit version of MoI for several years and since I know
other people here used it for converting CAD data, I may spread the info:
MoI4 beta is now 64bit. Finally! :)

We use the npower plugins, converting rhino to Max files which then have a

That's an area where Polytrans is really great. It also can convert from

The CAD module for PT is one of the best out there.

Thx, yeah we got an Moi license on one of the mac's with a lot of ram,

Maya isn't perfect at all for this kind of job, you should give a go to
Rhino or Moi for processing your file before.

In our experience - we handle PROE cad datas from our development department on

For the moment Polytrans is still a bit too expensive (according to what

There is something called FreeCad, which I might try.
I wonder if 123D Design would offer
ed it something
like Visual Enterprise. Unless you do a ton of CAD conversions of all
sorts of different formats, it's a lot of money to pay (I believe the CAD
edition is an extra expense) for a file converter.
Plus MOI is a fantastic modeler.

what was great about MoI is that it took even CAD models straight and we
could modify the geometry like connect pieces and/or clean objects if they
had issues. Also we could define the level of details at export. (Very

Because I'm dealing with an agency, they might won't be able to send an

I do all conversion in MoI. If you have Version 2.0, you can download the
version 3.0 Beta (and the new Mac version) which has updated CAD libraries,
faster conversion and is rocksolid like everything Michael Gibson is doing.
On export, I usually go fo

easier than that. The only thing that I ran into was with very large
assemblies because MoI is still a 32bit program, I ran out of RAM and
