Interoperability Tutorials
One of the strengths of 3ds Max Design is its ability to share data with other Autodesk products. The FBX data format is one of these solutions; so are the AutoCAD DWG/DXF formats, and the SAT format for ACIS solids. In this chapter, you learn how 3ds Max Design can share data with Autodesk Revit Architecture, AutoCAD, and Autodesk Inventor.
Revit model rendered with 3ds Max Design
This tutorial is intended for those who want to take designs created in Autodesk Revit and add professional rendering effects in 3ds Max Design.
A key feature of 3ds Max Design is its ability to let you work with drawings and models you've created with AutoCAD and AutoCAD Architecture, or drawings you've exported from Autodesk Revit. 3ds Max Design gives you the advantage of being able to improve on sound, precise drawings by letting you create realistic design visualization presentations.
In Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2011, you can use the SAT format to share files with Autodesk Inventor. This tutorial shows how to do so.
