I've a problem with 3ds, I've to import a vrml scene but the imported geometry is wrong

- this is a polygon that i've to import:


- this is the polygon imported in 3ds:


- this is the vrml code:

#VRML V2.0 utf8

DEF F1L8 Shape {
#appearance Appearance{texture ImageTexture {url "pillar.jpg"},material Material{transparency IS transparencyVal}}
appearance Appearance{texture ImageTexture {url "..\..\Images\wall.jpg"}}
geometry IndexedFaceSet
{
coord Coordinate
{
point
[
-51.44 3.29 43.625

-51.44 0 43.625

-51.44 2.15 42.625

-51.44 0 42.625

-51.44 2.15 41.295

-51.44 0 41.295

-51.44 2.15 39.165

-51.44 0 39.165

-51.44 2.15 37.835

-51.44 0 37.835

-51.44 3.29 36.835

-51.44 0 36.835



]
}
coordIndex
[
# extra walls
0 1 3 2 4 5 7 6 8 9 11 10 -1,
]
solid TRUE
}
}

As you can see in the vrml code is a polygon with 12 vertex but in 3ds is wrong.
thank you for help

If the importer has settings, test them

Use another importer

Use an external application to convert the format to other loadable by 3ds model

3ds importer has not settings. You can only import the file. do you know some other importer or pulugin or application to do that? i never found free software to do that.

Hi

I dont know for a free converter.

A nice converter VRML to everything converter is the Polytrans, its not free.

But with such a simple geometry you would have easyer to do int in MAX.

Metod 1
1) Activate the vertex snap
2) Start drawing a line placing a vertex in each 90ยบ corner.
3) Aply Face Extrude Modifier

Metod 2
1) Activate the vertex snap
2) Draw a line rectangle that covers all the wall
3) Draw smalle line rectangles that covers the hoels in the wall
4) Attach the smaller ones to the big one
5) Aply Face Extrude Modifier

Bye
