Guys im having a big problem, I got a machine sent to me in STEP. i open the step files in Rhino, save as .3DS, I have done it this way for this client for a few jobs and it works fine, but i have issues with one 3DS file, Error 555 in file 3dsimp.cpp
Any ideas
It wont iomport
Maybe my model is just to big to import?
