Exporting to IGES Files

• File menu > Export > IGES (*.IGS)

3ds Max converts geometry to Body Objects before exporting to IGES.

Note: Only Body Objects can be exported.

When you export IGES files, 3ds Max creates a log file containing detailed information about the processing of the model. The name of the file has a .log filename extension.

Note: If there are modifiers applied to surfaces in your scene, it's best to collapse the stack before exporting to IGES. When 3ds Max exports to an IGES file, it skips any surface that has any modifiers applied.

Procedures

To export an IGES file:

1. Select the objects to export.
2. Select File menu Export.

4. Specify a file name to export.
5. Click Save.
6. To review the translation process, read the .log log file with your preferred text editor.
