I am trying to create an efficient work-flow between sketchup pro and 3ds max 2011. The problem I am having is linking files so that changes made in sketchup au automatically update in the 3ds file. Unlike Cad linking to Max, Sketchup requires a complete override of the file and I then have to re-asign materials, layers, etc.. Is there a way to create a more efficient workflow? What is the overall best way to export out of sketchup up and into 3dsMax (i.e. export dwg files by layer then import to max as dwg) > thank you

Hello All! This is my first post but i've been using this blog for a few months now. Thank you to all who contribute!

Im having a hard time setting aspect ratios upon exporting jpegs. My team uses different screens which are all different sizes. We are trying to use the most effecient method to export and replace images as our design advances. Because the aspect ratio is based on screen size we keep having to resize the images instead of just replacing (such as you would in indesign/illustrator/or CAD). We installed the advanced camera tool plugin however all this does is provide more camera options without resolving aspect ratio issue...All we need to do is export an image say 3000 by 1700 yet each screen adjust the lower number making each jpeg different. Any thoughts? Thanks everybody
