Mirza Link Manager
Link your BIM/CAD model into your 3dsMax scenes. Import and update models from Archicad, Revit, Sketchup, Rhino or Autocad and keep all work done on materials, modifiers and properties.
Models coming from your CAD/BIM program will be imported, cleaned and reorganized to result in one mesh per material. All materials, modifiers and changes on properties applied in 3dsMax will be subsequently reapplied to the corresponding meshes next time you import the model. Forest Pack object's distribution surfaces are also updated to the new corresponding meshes. This is a fully working version with a trial period of 7 days.
Installation
Drag'n drop the .mzp file onto the 3dsMax viewport.
Access it through the menu Tool/Mirza Tools, or make a button in a toolbar.
Usage
- Create a link: Select the program which it comes from, choose "Create", press "Import".
- Browse to the file: The geometry is now imported, recombined by materials and cleaned.
- Work on the model: Apply materials, move insertion point, apply modifiers, change properties.
- Update: Select the link to be updated in the dropdown list, press "Update" and browse to the new file.
- All the changes are reapllied on the newly imported model.
You can have as many links as you wish from different modelers.
(instructions for exporting are shown in the window)
NB: Archicad 21 ".obj" export is buggy. For linking a Archicad 21 model use the ".skp" format (2015) instead of ".obj". Archicad 22's export works just fine.
