How to convert Bentley AutoPLANT to Blender (.blend)?

PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

Bentley AutoPLANT

Bentley's AutoPLANT is the premier plant design software used around the world. It provides plant engineers and designers with a complete set of integrated software applications that are highly intuitive and easy to use. AutoPLANT uses the Autodesk ObjectARX technology.

To convert from AutoPLANT to Okino software:

1. 1) Install the Bentley AutoPLANT Object Enabler into AutoCAD. Once enabled, import the DWG file from AutoPLANT into AutoCAD then re-export to the DWF-3D file format. Read the DWF-3D file into Okino software.
   
   
2. 2) Import the DWG file into Autodesk Navisworks then re-export to DWF-3D file format. Read the DWF-3D file into Okino software.

Blender

Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and, formerly, video games. Blender v1.0 was first released in January 1995.

Based on decades of hand's on experience with Blender, 3D files can be imported and exported between Okino's conversion software and Blender using COLLADA. Second runner-up would be FBX. Okino software allows for the conversion of all major 3D DCC, animation, CAD, MCAD, GIS and AEC files for Blender usage. The .blend native file format is not directly supported.
