STEP (STP, STEP) Files

You can import STEP files as 3ds Max Body Objects.

• Application Menu > Import > Select File To Import dialog > Files Of Type drop-down list > Choose STEP (*.STP, *.STEP).

Standard for the Exchange of Product Data (STEP) is an ISO standard exchange format that multiple programs can recognize. It is used for transferring graphics data between CAD/CAM systems.

3ds Max does not export the STEP format.

Support for the STEP format is provided by Autodesk DirectConnect.

Interface

There are no import options. When you import a STEP file, 3ds Max displays a progress dialog and a progress bar. When import is complete, the Body Objects appear in 3ds Max viewports.
