72sonett Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I made a 3d model of our house using Tinkercad (as .stl file). Is there any way to convert this to a model useable in 3dMBS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinhard Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi @72sonett, Für das 3D-MBS benötigst du eine DirectX-Datei. Wenn Tinkercad keine DirectX-Dateien erzeugen kann, benötigst du ein Programm zur Konvertierung von *.stl auf *.x Dateien. U.a. Blender (Blender) könnte dies. In Blender kannst du *.stl-Dateien importieren und *.x-Dateien exportieren. Gruß Reinhard For the 3D-MBS you need a DirectX file. If Tinkercad cannot create DirectX files, you will need a program to convert *.stl to *.x files. Among others Blender (Blender) could do this. In Blender you can import *.stl files and export *.x files. salute Reinhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72sonett Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Thanks. So I installed Blender 2.79b, imported my model.stl file and exported it as a model.x3d file (model.x was no option). Now how do I import the model.x3d file in my 3d-MBS lay out? -- MH Edited August 19, 2018 by 72sonett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwei Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi MH first you need to install the Exporter, to find here: https://www.3d-modellbahn.de/files/wiki/attachments/3/io_scene_x.zip extract it under e.g. C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\<Version>\scripts\addons restart "Blender", then activate the exporter in blender under "User Preferences / AddOn's" and you are ready to export. greets max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72sonett Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 OK, after some trial and error that worked, thanks , I now have a model.x file. What next, how do I import it into 3dMBS? -- MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwei Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hi MH In 3DMBS select >Catalog >3D Models > New > in that new Windows select that Kind of 3D-Model you want to install. press the + Button and select the *.x File, thats it. You may select some Options in that Window, depending on your choice, self-explaining. greets max PS: warum schreibst du in anderen Threads in perfektem deutsch?

72sonett Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 It almost worked, I got a message saying "The model could not be loaded, it contains too much vertices (140863,maximum allowed 65536)." but the principle is clear to me now, thanks, you have been very helpful. 4 hours ago, maxwei said: ... warum schreibst du in anderen Threads in perfektem deutsch? Perfekt... really?? The other thread started in German, has no postings in English at all, so I continued in German. I noticed this forum is bilingual and as my English is even more perfect and easier for me, I started this Tinkercad thread in English. -- MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72sonett Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I split my original model up in smaller parts and made an x file, import in 3DMBS worked OK but when I wanted to save the model it told me to buy he profesional version first... I did not know there were limitations on the standard version, could not find anything about that either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
