Hi eceryone.

Ok I know that I can export a DXF file from Max. And I know StripX can import a DXF file. So my problem is why does my stripX (ver3) not import?
Do I have to use layers in Max?
When I export an object from StripX -- it imports into Max just fine!!!

any bright ideas anyone?

As jliboy said, you can't make them with 3Ds Max, its in the strpix manual. You could do what I did and delete some of the standard plugins, which are the cause of the fault, depending on which version you have of course. I'd recommend Rhino 3D, loads of people use it (Not me )
