Inventor: Export a wireframe model to obj

Anonymous — Mon, 03 Dec 2018 14:51:22 GMT

Is it possible to export a wireframe model to OBJ? Or export to some format, that i can use in a 3d software like 3DS Max? Thanks

Hello @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a pretty new member to the Inventor Forum.
Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

I'm not sure what you mean for "wireframe model", but Inventor and 3DSMax are compatible.

You can either export an Inventor file as .obj, or you can import a native Inventor file directly from 3DSMax.

I hope it helps

You will need to export as OBJ (or STEP etc.) and choose a resolution (ideally not Brep) from the export options menu, then import to 3DSMax and use settings and materials in 3DSMax to render as a wireframe.

Here's a video of how to render wireframe from 3DSMax:
