Importing 3DS

Download 3ds file.
Create new vectorworks document (better safe than sorry)
File>Import>Import 3DS (3D Only)…
Choose the file you have just down loaded.
Select 'Import as Vectorworks Mesh Object'
Hit 'OK'

Confirm the object is the correct size, if it is to small use
Modify>Scale Objects… (try scale by 1000)

Thats you imported it.

If you want to change its textures, you may need to 'ungroup'
Modify>Ungroup or ⌘U

You may now want to turn it into a 'symbol'
