I am working on some product designs which my engineer is developing with a CAD software package called SolidWorks. I would like to export models from SolidWorks to be worked on in Bryce, but we can't determine which file formats to use.
According to the SolidWorks website, we can "exchange CAD data using a wide variety of file formats including: CGR (CATIA graphics), HCG (CATIA highly compressed graphics), Pro/ENGINEER, IPT (Autodesk Inventor), Mechanical Desktop, Unigraphics, PAR (Solid Edge), CADKEY, IGES, STEP, Parasolid, SAT (ACIS), VDA-FS, VRML, STL, DWG, DXF, TIFF, JPG, Viewpoint, RealityWave, and HSF (Hoops)."
I'm not sure how to get from any of those formats to something Bryce can import. Can anyone help?
