Why would I use the MLM instead of just importing?

  • The imported geometry will be clean, and organized
  • You skip testing a lot of options when exporting and importing
  • And above all: all work done in 3dsMax is not lost next time you take in a model!

  • The idea is that you can work freely in your CAD/BIM project, and at any time update the 3dsMax scene where it is linked in order to render views


    Why would I use the MLM instead of the built-in links?

    It is not necessarily better, but here are some advantages:

  • you can apply modifiers to the imported objects (for ex. shell, XForm, UVWMaps), they will be kept after update
  • you can move and rotate the link to another origo
  • you keep control over the imported objects
  • it is more straightforward and no need to parametrize any option
  • you can link from more CAD/BIM packages
  • the resulting geometry is often more accurate

  • How do I know which options to choose when exporting?

    When selecting which program you are importing from some informations is displayed telling you which options you should choose when exporting

    How do I manage licenses?

    In the user menu on the website choose login/register

    After registration you can access an interface to see all the licenses attached to your email and the activated computers

    If there is no available license left just remove one computer by clicking the cross to free its license

    How does the link work?

    All imported geometry becomes one object (mesh) per material, with the material's name as its name.

    When updating the model every new objects that have the same name as an object in the existing link will receive its materials, properties and modifiers

    You can now render your updated model!
