'IMPORTING DWGS TO 3DSMAX FOR ARCHITECTURAL VISUALIZATION'

Depending on the units used, you might or might not see your plan on screen.
In case you don’t see your object, click on the “zoom extents” button which is on the lower right of your screen.

You can go to the “Tools” menu and select “Layer Manager”. There you can turn off or on any layers you like, just like in AutoCAD. Note: The Layer Manager window only displays the layers that were selected while importing your file. If you wish you can import ALL of the layers from the DWG file and then just turn them off in Max’s Layer Manager.

Next you can select splines, convert them to editable mesh objects and extrude, bevel or edit them as you would do any objects within 3DSMax.
That’s about it for this tutorial. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. I really hope this was of some help.
