Hi,

We are having issues trying to import 12da file format in 3DS Max 2011 Dynamite. I have also tried using 2010 Dynamite with no luck.

We get an error “Unable to find any models to import” We are 100% certain that there is geometry in the file.

The 12da file has come from another consultant and they use the latest 12D program

Are we missing something here?

We usually use AutoCAD Civil this is the first project we have used 12D so are not familiar with the program.

Thanks for the help,
Tim

Thanks Tim, could you send the file across to us at the usual support e-mail address?

Hi,

We tracked down the issue. We had to remove the header information in the file. I would have assumed Dynamite could handle header information. :S

Anyway, if anyone else has issues importing 12da files and get the error “Unable to find any models to import” this is the reason.

Cheers,
Tim

Hi Tim,

It would be a great help if you could pass the file across to us for further testing, or at least the “header” information which you say that you removed.

Thanks in advance,

Bruce

Hi Bruce,

I have emailed two files through to you to test.

Cheers,
TIm
