Posts: 133 		Hi all Muvizuers,

I tried to find a topic related to this subject, but I don't find it. I model object with software like Autocad who can only be exported in Zip or in .step. So, I wanna know if it's possible to import .step file on Muvizu (and if yes, how) ?

Thank you for your help !

I did go looking to see if you could maybe import .STEP files into Sketchup however, as you could then export it from there as a .ASE file, and I found this. The process looks a bit long and complicated, but it might just be what you need:

Posts: 133 		I think I have an idea, I will transform my .STEP fil into a .STL file, then open it with blender and export it in .ASD !!!

I wish it will work, because I will have a lot of stuff to give to Muvizu

For all the people who wanna transform a .step, a .stp file or a .obj file into Muvizu , use Blender, intall this https://code.google.com/p/ase-export-vmc/downloads/detail?name=ASE250.zip (to install it, you have to follow the step on the 'Read Me' file.

Then, you only import your object in Blender, and export it in .asd file

I wish this will help a lot of people like me !!!
