importing a dwg in 3ds smooth

RBA · April 22nd, 2008

Hi,
I want to import a .dwg in 3ds, but the curves are not smooth in the 3ds model. Also when I render the scene it is not smooth. The CAD model is near the 0,0,0. I think it is a problem importing the file in 3ds, but what is the problem?
I use 3ds VIZ 2006 and ADT 2005.
Thnx,

I have found the answer myself. The surface deviation (by importing the file) was to high (25,4), put it to 0,01 then the surface is smooth after importing the .dwg.

alternatively you can smooth out the faces in Viz using the smooth modifier, or the smooth tools in the edit mesh modifier.
