Hi guys,

I have got a *.dxf file with my room which I would like to simulate.

But during import I get an error "cannot convert *.dxf.

My *.dxf file is readable with other programs.

Any ideas ?

regards

Michael

The best thing to do is to use other software to convert from 3ds or dxf to .x (direct x binary mesh). Virtual 3D simulator can convert some small 3ds and dxf files if they are not too complex, however other graphics software can give you a lot more options.

You could try 3D object converter. I design/open up most of my graphics in google sketchup and use the 3D rad exporter plugin to export as .x
