Simlab Importers for Maya help you collaborate with other designers across various software, such as SOLIDWORKS, AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and so many more. This exporter works out of the box for most models, but there are settings to help you control the scale of the model and the up vector to be used. All plugins support Maya 2010-2025, unless otherwise stated.
