Export XVL files directly from 3ds Max
XVL Converter Plug-In for 3ds Max 64-bit edition is a plug-in for 3ds Max 2016 that enables the user to import and export XVL files from within the application. It also enables the user to
create XVL files that include animations authored in 3ds Max. XVL Converter Plug-In for 3ds Max supports 3ds Max 2016.
XVL Converters are used to convert 3D CAD and design data into XVL so that it can be easily used for process design, digital mock up, authored into manufacturing documentation, and so on. XVL, an ultra lightweight 3D format, offers the industry's best 3D compression, up to 0.5% of original data size. It delivers this with no loss of accuracy enabling data to be rapidly used, shared and viewed even on lower specification PCs.
XVL Converters access CAD models through the respective CAD system, and achieve breakthrough ultra-compression by expressing the model as highly compressed 3D surfaces that maintain both high accuracy and the visual integrity of the original data. All converters on offer can perform post- processing commands after conversions.

Features
Full featured viewing: Zoom, pan, rotate, measurement, annotation, texture mapping, cross-sectioning of your 3D data.
Assemble parts from multiple CAD systems or files after conversion to XVL.
Import and export the following formats as standard: 3D PDF, 3ds, DXF, IGES, OBJ, STL, U3D, VRML.
Create parts lists and share them using XVL, Excel, PDF or HTML.
XVL - the industry's most compressed and accurate 3D format.
Automatic Update: After an engineering or design change, the new 3D data can be automatically updated in XVL Studio to repeat actions and changes made to the original data.
Work Instructions: Create and Deploy Step-by-Step Work Instructions.
Animation Definition: Define keyframe animation, and automatic assembly/disassembly animations, with multiple camera views, part visibilities, and events.
Animations as AVIs: Save out animations as AVI files, as well as save as part of the 3D XVL model.
Process Design and Verification: Comprehensively design manufacturing processes, calculate working time. Check each step using process animations and path authoring (see below). Check Human interaction.
Human Interaction: Add human models to test assembly and manufacturability with humans involved. Add tools and dynamically check reach, position and interference.
Process Animation: Create process animations which can be played interactively with the process tree, defined in XVL Studio. Dynamically check for collisions. (XVL Studio Pro only).
Path Authoring Tools: In Process Design, create and manipulate paths to avoid collisions between parts and check and define detailed movement of parts.
Advanced visualization with multiple windows and snapshots.
Static and Dynamic interference checking and clearance analysis including individual parts or whole assemblies. Output interference and clearance results to spreadsheets.
Automatically create and save 2D profiles that update in real time.
Offset surfaces to modify existing geometry to thicken surface models.
Draft angle detection: detect and identify parts and faces with an insufficient draft angle
Sophisticated cross section control: Trace cross sections along any axis. Output cross sections as IGES or DXF. Measure and dimension in real-time.
