Cad64 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Well, I don't know why you would want to do this, unless you are Exporting your model into another program that needs the model to be a solid. There is a plug-in you can purchase for that from The 3D Studio I have not tried this plug-in, so I can't vouch for it's reliability. Quote

We have another piece of software that requires the model to be a solid, I noticed that plug in the other day, mite check it out although it is a bit expensive. Thanks for the tip! Quote
Cad64 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 If you do decide to try it out, be sure to post back with a review. I would be interested to know how well it worked, or didn't work? Quote

Cad64 Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 If you need to export your model for use in another program that requires solids, try exporting your model to .sat format: http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/13/ENU/Autodesk%203ds%20Max%202011%20Help/index.html?url=./files/WS73099cc142f48755-385a98b012180d20f19-38a0.htm,topicNumber=d0e431190 Quote
