I tried to down load the model to experiment and got an object around a gazillion polys! What did you use to convert the model for use?

I really like what you've done...

Cheers,
Ron

Hey Ron,

the format is an exchange type for nurbs curves and surfaces.
It opens best with software designed to work natively with nurbs..
I used rhino, took about 2-3 minutes to convert/import.
Maya should be able to handle it, Houdini, Alibre, or any of the higher end mechanical applications like SolidWorks and such.

But it took me a while to join the surfaces as .iges does not know polysurfaces.... just select all and join... & wait 5min...

I sent the model to a friend, he opened it with max and it took him ages.. but he got it open. didn't see the meshing density though..

You should be able to export geometry from the rhino trail version (20 times i think), there you can mesh the objects depending on your needs and export as .obj .3ds ..etc..

if this doesn't work try this meshed .3ds version... but it is not perfect..

have fun :D

@Ivox

thanks..

thought the big resolution is better to get lost in.. :)

@Bubbaloo,... i think some ram and a cpu would do it too .. then i don't have to model the pins of the 775 soket.. :lol:

Thanks much poly...I'll give it another try!

Cheers,

Cool test Polynurb :shock:
credits go to a SolidWorks freak named "nNifty"
pretty easy when you use CircuitWorks, witch i think is what he/she has used :wink:

The model is a solid so it should come into your app as a solid. Typically igs format does not contain full solids but instead all the surfaces that make up the solid, and then programs that want to work on it as a solid will join those together to make a solid. So yes, the final result at the end will be a solid. Rhino should import it as a solid, perhaps something in the preferences

impressive work, even the planar mapped version, and nice mood

So, is this a known issue?
