Importing Autocad Hull into Maxsurf

I have a 3d model in autocad 2010. It's a hull made of surfaces. I save it as dxf 2007 and try to import it into maxsurf, but nothing shows up.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Maxsurf

Noswal,

Maxsurf will only import DXF files as markers (like a point cloud) not surfaces. Easier to save AutoCAD file as IGES and then import into Maxsurf.
Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Graham
