Setting AutoCAD drawings as references for modeling architecture in 3ds Max
In this tutorial, Andrew will show you how to import design drawings saved as AutoCAD's DWGs into 3ds Max and set them as references for modeling architecture - On top of that, the tutorial is full of tips tricks that will make your modeling faster!
Learn how to align design levels to 3ds Max coordinate system, organize drawings on layers, double-check 3ds MAx import precision, and make sure you don't need to turn the references on and off constantly when you change views!
