stuarth Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi people I have to quote a build It is a cat sailing boat, I THINK it was drawn in Auto something or other as the surfaces were poly meshes, and could not develope the designer sent the files as iges, , I open in r4, and send as iges to maxsurf, but only parts come through many of the surfaces are compound, some heavily so, , maxsurf workshop would do the job IF I could get em into it Anybody have autoship could read the meshes? or help in anyway at all, ia m a builder not a real cad expert at all thanks here is the deck as iges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuarth Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 darn file iges cant be uploaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEANT Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 The forum allows .zip files. You could compress(zip) the iges file, then upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEANT Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Or, for that matter, if the iges file is fairly small, the .igs extension could just be changed to .txt, then uploaded. The max size for a txt file is only 20kb though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
