BricsCAD to 3DS Conversion

Say goodbye to complicated exports - Exporting BricsCAD drawings to 3DS takes just 3 easy steps:

  1. Download & Install:

    Export 3DS files directly from BricsCAD drawings using Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD session.

  2. Execute 3DS Export:

    Launch the export process by typing AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the desired 3D entities (Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, 3D Face, or other 3D drawing entities) from your BricsCAD model space.

  3. Save as 3DS File:

    In the save dialog, set the file type to 3DS (*.3ds), choose your save location, enter a filename, and click Save to complete the export.

DWG BricsCAD Drawing

Bricsys's BricsCAD is a major contender in the Computer Aided Design (CAD) software market. Known for its powerful drafting and modeling tools, it provides a cost-effective alternative to other CAD solutions while maintaining full compatibility with the latest DWG file format. Built for professionals in architecture, engineering, and construction, BricsCAD combines familiar workflows with advanced features like AI-powered drawing automation and 3D direct modeling.

Key Features of BricsCAD

  • Full DWG Compatibility:

    Native support for the latest DWG file format, ensuring seamless collaboration with AutoCAD and other CAD applications.

  • AI-Powered Drawing Automation:

    BricsCAD Shape and Machine Learning tools accelerate design workflows.

  • Direct 3D Modeling:

    Intuitive push-pull editing for quick conceptual design and modifications.

  • Customization & Automation:

    Supports LISP, C++, .NET APIs, and ObjectBRX for deep software extension.

Automesher Application and Automapki Application plug-ins significantly expand BricsCAD's functionality by enabling direct import and export of 3D and GIS data. Supporting industry-standard formats including STL, SKP, OBJ for 3D models and SHP, KML for geospatial information, these tools create seamless connections between BricsCAD and other design platforms. Supercharge your design workflow with Automesher & Automapki apps today - the essential plug-ins that bridge BricsCAD with the world of 3D modeling and geospatial data.

3DS 3D Studio File

A widely recognized format used for storing 3D polygonal mesh models, originally developed for Autodesk 3D Studio. Known for its broad compatibility and straightforward structure, it remains a popular choice for real-time visualization, gaming, architectural modeling, and lighting design despite its legacy limitations.

Key Features & Capabilities

  • Extensive Support:

    The 3DS format supports model naming conventions, reusable geometry instances, and material definitions including transparent colors and texture mapping. Its hierarchical structure preserves object relationships and basic animation data.

  • High Compatibility:

    3DS files work with most major 3D software including DIALux for lighting design, Blender, Cinema 4D, and game engines like Unity. This makes it ideal for cross-platform asset sharing.

  • Technical Limitations:

    Due to its DOS-era origins, the format has strict constraints: mesh names are limited to 8 characters, and each mesh object can contain no more than 32,767 triangles. The format also lacks support for modern features like PBR materials or NURBS surfaces.

3DS File Converters

Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application automatically resolve legacy 3DS format constraints by intelligently partitioning large models into compliant, optimized sub-meshes. This ensures your 3D assets maintain integrity when exported to the 3DS format. While newer formats offer more features, 3DS remains valuable for legacy systems, lighting simulations, and situations requiring broad software support without complex dependencies.
