Get viewpointmodels to xsi

Xsi
1

hello
i think for some of you guys this is a silly question...
how can i get viewpoint models from the cd to xsi 1.5 ?
in soft 3.9 i could put them in the models folder and then load them with get>element>models
any ideas what i'm doing wrong... in xsi they don't eaven list in the models folder.

thanks in advance

i dont know XSI, so im guessing here.

cant you just drag and drop the model into a viewport, or is there an import menu somewhere.

sorry for the useless info :slight_smile:

yes, thanks...
i have to mention that i can import the models when i save them in soft 3.9 and then in xsi with file>import>SI 3d models... but what if i would' nt had SI 3d?
when i drag and drop them in the models folder xsi can't recognice them as models.

what am i doing wrong... i'm just curious.

thanks again and sunny greetings from switzerland

If you place the viewpoint models in a valid Soft3D Database
they should load into XSI with no problems using theimport soft3d model option. I guess if you dont have Soft3D database
that could be a problem!

The reason they are loading Ok when you initially load them into Soft is that they get saved in a Soft3D database.

At least thats my experience when converting Lightwave
objects to .hrc format
