Fortunately the geometry is very simple and will not take you long to remodel in Inventor.

Hi @JDMather

You only see like 0.01% of my total 3D model so NO im not going to redraw it!

I need a way to translatet it into Inventor so i can shade/render all of it.

Best Regards

Hi @phLGMAM

I repeate my quistion.

"I really need this type of 3D made file importet to a god 3D inventor file. so it can be shaded and render."

AnyCAD in Inventor? Or another way? Have some one worked with this type of file before and succeeded?

Best regards

Hi! Another quick test you can try. In AutoCAD, use ACISOUT or STEPOUT to export the solid. Then import it to Inventor. Do the solid bodies appear?

It is possible those rails may not be solid bodies. Use LIST command to check what they are.

Many thanks!
