Looking pretty good.

If I was you I will try something smaller to import from AutoCAD the first time. The yellow ornament add that in gmax with the help of textures.

Looking forward to hear about your experiences with AutoCAD/gmax as I pretty good with AutoCAD, but haven't really tried out gmax yet.

So, if you do the building in AutoCad, will you then import the DXF file into gmax?  I have tried something along the same lines with the CAD program I use at work.  I can export to DXF and then import the file into gmax, but haven't been succesful yet.  Let me know how it comes out.  I would really rather work in my CAD program from work.

[1ajs 49]

umm what is a dxf ... i have never seen this option when saving... hence why i upgrade from adt3.3 to autocad 2004 lol

umm you work with cad kool i took highschool drafting and learned to use adt 3.3 and a bit of adt 2005 but then i switch to inventor 7 for the rest of my last year of grade 12 drafting know were i could find a copy of acurender??

[Mikeaut1 261]

Looks awesome TDK!! I like this building. I'll continue to follow it!

Hey this sounds like a good idea you got here, there may be a slight chance I can bat after all, since I can use Autocad.  I'm in an architecture class right now in high school, and I'm using AutoCad 2002.  I should be able to get a copy on my computer soon, so mabey I'll try some batting?

[1ajs 49]

kool i lernd on autocad 2002 ... to be more exact autodesk archtectual desktop 3.3 witch is auto cad 2002 with wall tools and bunch of other goodies...

i don't think autocad 2002 has the exsport tool though you might need to get a plug in

[vester_DK 477]

You can export to 3ds. It's found in the file menu.

The dxf format (drawing export format) is more for export to other CAD programs.

[dhoppeii 12]

1ajs - Yes, I work in CAD all day long.  I am a Design Engineer in the Packaging Industry.  The program I use is called Score3D and it draws in the Vellum format.  The program itself is designed for our industry.

[underworld 131]

Any updates on this project?

I'm really curious if this works!!

[1ajs 49]

i have herd of Score3D.... but never used or seen it ....

umm don't worry about my exsperiment it won't die inless i fail... just installed gmax and trying to install the sc4 addon for gmax but it keeps throwing up an eror saying unable to copy plug in into plugin directory umm help....

[1ajs 49]

ok well on another note i exported my building into a 3ds and imported it into gmax

/>

i still need help ... on thoughs other things anyhow how i did the textures in autocad are showing up so i like w i am see atm but when i whent to exsport gave me cuple other options so i will have to take look at each one to see witch one i think would work best....

[Cjah 15]

Hmm again its a really cool building.I like the shape and the color and as always I wish you well in your next attempts and projects!

[underworld 131]

Looking good Buddy!!

[mattb325 28,899]

Looking really good! As for roof textures, depends what you've got in mind for the look of the roof. Let me know and I'll see if I can rummage through something

 

EDIT: below are a couple of concrete textures as requested that could either stretch or tile to suit and could be changed to any colour you choose. I don't really BAT building with flat roofs, so I don't have a huge selection....

[antsel 842]

Man, I use AutoCAD Architectural Desktop 2i for 3D drawings, but I never knew we could export files into a format that works with GMAX. I'm glad I found this thread!
