We use the npower plugins, converting rhino to Max files which then have a 
modifier applied in the stack. We’ve tried others but npower seem to work best 
for us, and we work with a lot of CAD, often 1000’s of files

 

We’ve used STEP a lot, but am now looking at using JT instead.

Subject: Re: CAD files from rhino

 

oo thx for the heads up and the offer,

yea the files arn't big for rhino or simlab. just MOI
but if anything huge comes up that chokes those, I'll have to keep an eye open

I’ve got another solution that isn’t as cheap as MOI but one that copes well 
with massive CAD assets.

 

Modo and Power Translators in combination.

 

Modo is now available as a rental ($599 per annum) but comes with a fully 
functional 30 day demo and you can get a demo license from Integrity-ware 
directly for Power Translators, just be sure you ask for the Modo version of 
Power Translators.

Really powerful combination that’s especially effective on massive CAD models 
with lots of components. It’s no magic button but the options aren’t complex, 
just be thoughtful about the available options.

 

If you get the demo’s more than happy to help you out with the available 
options. Or if you have an asset your client is happy to pass on to a third 
party, more than happy to test here as I run both Modo and Power Translators. 
At least this way you won’t waste any more time learning and testing new tools.
