how convert other formats to rhino, etc.?

What formats and how can I convert to rhino? Does anyone have a water surface for rhino (is there such a thing?) that I can float my model on?

p.s. The creativity and generosity on this site is inspirational. Also check out www.instructables.com for more things to expand your creativity with.

 

cad files

I have harken, lewmar and some anchor dwgs from the manufacturers in dwg format. I noticed nobody seems real interested in 2d but I'll upload them if they can be useful. Things like winches are easily revolved into 3d. I uploaded a lewmar file already but wanted to make sure anybody was interested.

 

i was reading the 3d models forum a few weeks back that read like a dead horse. togetehr with the searching i find most rouch models are faster drawn, here some props with a nose cone done in 5 min before i even looked for a sample in the volvo catalog where i saw volvo duoprops come in various set-ups. offcourse factory drawings with the cups right and all i too keep myself posted for.

 

I know it is very hard to find an effective way to distribute 3D-Models and other documents via internet. But we have no give up. Under http://www.archnav.de/linksammlung/links_fs_12.html you find our solution. There is a list of all equipment suppliers from the shipbuilding industry. To some of them there are related (brochures with 3D-CAD-Models) in .pdf format. There you can download all related 3D-Models and documents.

It is working in the same way as yipster show us with the volvo catalogue. The only new thing is, that there are involved 3D-models and other documents via .zip-files.

 

nice site and your right archnav, did a course at cadcollege were emphasis was put on having pallets and using cad libraries
dutch acad and inventor instruction movies and cad library under the link above

 

3d-pdf

There is an new way to distribute, view and download 3D-Models via the Internet. All you need is the latest Abrobat reader Version 8.1 or for downloading direct with right mouseclick 3D-PDF 8.1.

Here are some examples from our webside:

swinging that engine around feels good archnav, my understanding is you have bought the pdf v8.1 builder?

bunch of fairly good ship models at http://www.3dworldclub.com/preview.aspx?ModelCode=3208#

 

From my point of view a catalogue like that from

http://www.archnav.de/Lewmar_Delta_Anchors_Test_.pdf

would be the optimum for boats designer. There you could watch the anchor in 3D, make the size selection and download the anchor you need for your ship in the format you need for your CAD-System.

The only problem is that the equipment suppliers are not willing to do so, if there is not enough pressure from the boat designers.

Cheer

Yipster,
Have you already install the Acrobat Reader 8.1 and the models are running without any problem?

 

Bernd, yes, acrobat 8.1 and works like a dream, compliments!
