GstarCAD to 3DS Conversion
Get it done in a flash - export GstarCAD drawings to 3DS with three quick steps:
Install Automesher Application
Export 3DS mesh files directly from GstarCAD drawings using Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD software.
Execute 3DS Export
Enter AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the 3D entities (e.g., Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, or 3D Face) from your GstarCAD model space that you want to export.
Save as 3DS Mesh File
Select 3DS (*.3ds) as file type, choose the destination folder and file name, then click Save to complete the export.

GstarCAD - Convert DWG Drawings
GstarCAD, developed by Gstarsoft, is a powerful and cost-effective CAD software solution, known for its high compatibility with the DWG file format. DWG files are widely used to store 2D and 3D design data in architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing industries.
Key Features of GstarCAD and DWG Files
- Robust CAD Tools: Design precise 2D drawings and detailed 3D models using GstarCAD's comprehensive drafting and modeling features.
- Native DWG Support: Open, edit, and save .dwg files natively to maintain accuracy and ensure seamless collaboration across platforms.
- Customization and Automation: Optimize workflows with support for AutoLISP, VBA, and GRX APIs to automate repetitive tasks and extend functionality.
Convert DWG Files to 3D and GIS Formats
Boost GstarCAD's capabilities with our Automesher Application and Automapki Application. These tools enable the import and export of popular 3D formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, FBX, and STEP, along with GIS formats such as SHP, KML, and GeoJSON. Integrate 3D models and spatial data directly into your GstarCAD projects with ease.
Convert DWG files and bring real-world context into your CAD environment - streamline your BIM and GIS workflows with powerful GstarCAD-compatible file conversion tools.
3D Studio (3DS) File Format
The 3DS file format is a classic, widely-used standard for storing 3D polygonal mesh models, originally developed for Autodesk's 3D Studio. Known for its simple structure and broad compatibility, 3DS remains popular in gaming, architectural visualization, lighting design, and real-time 3D applications.
Key Features of the 3DS Format
- Broad Software Support: 3DS files are compatible with leading 3D applications like DIALux, Blender, Cinema 4D, and Unity, making it a reliable format for cross-platform 3D model exchange.
- Efficient Data Storage: Supports hierarchical object structures, reusable geometry instances, material properties (colors, transparency, texture maps), and basic animation data.
- Format Constraints: Due to its DOS-era origins, 3DS limits mesh names to 8 characters and restricts each mesh object to a maximum of 32,767 triangles. It does not support modern rendering features such as PBR materials or NURBS.
Convert 3DS Files Easily
Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application optimize the conversion of 3DS files by automatically partitioning large meshes to comply with format limitations. Easily import, export, and adapt 3DS models for legacy workflows, lighting simulations, or cross-platform sharing, while preserving maximum model fidelity.
