Lights Imports lights from pre-AutoCAD 2007 DWG files. Sun and Sky Imports Sun and Shadows position from the drawing file (AutoCAD / AutoCAD Architecture 2008 and Revit 2008 only). NOTE You must set mental ray as the default renderer for you to see the Sun and Sky effect. To set mental ray as the default renderer, see Choose Renderer Dialog on page 6136. Hatches Imports hatches from the DWG file. WARNING This stores each line or dot in the hatch pattern as a separate spline that defines the hatch; this can create a very large number of objects in your scene. Views and Camera Imports named views from the DWG file, and converts them to 3ds Max cameras. NOTE Orthographic views do not translate correctly in imported DWG files. However, there are no problems with Perspective views. Points Imports points from the DWG file. NOTE The imported point objects are represented in 3ds Max as Point Helper on page 2628 objects. UCSs (grids) Imports user coordinate systems (UCS) from the DWG file and converts them to 3ds Max grid objects.
