is it posible to import or convert mdl files so they can be opened by gmax AC3d 3ds max or google sketchup?


edit:Thanks for the help guess you cant

Nope. Not in any useful way.

You shold even be thinking of opening models

Unless your not going to sell or release the model...

i just wanted to get some floats from a default aircraft owell guess i will make my own

Not even for private use.....the modellers are usually quite clear, no decompiling and that means just what it says.

There various source model files availiable on some sites such as Freeflight Design shop.

Can't say off hand if there is anything of use to you there but if you know how to model, a couple of floats won't take long to make.

I could model you some floats. What aircraft do you need floats for?

for the default c172(i will make a replica of the default but with floats.) if you cant i will just buy carendo c172 on floats

It's not possible to do that. Once it's a .mdl file it cannot be modified.

I wish you could......

Why.....so after someone has spent over a thousand hours on a model anyone could just pick it up and use it .......the fact you can't is quite deliberate

You want a model file then Gmax is free and there are an abundance of tuotials
