Stands out in the Autodesk App Store library for handling Parasolid import with color support, 3ds Max version coverage from 2024 to 2027, and an automation route that lets other plugins trigger imports without user intervention.
ProtoTech's PARASOLID Importer for 3ds Max imports Parasolid models directly into the 3ds Max platform for visualization, rendering, and further 3D editing. Colors are carried through from the imported model. It supports 3ds Max 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027, and runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 only.
Installing the plugin activates a free trial automatically, giving access to the full feature set with 30 imports across 15 days and no activation key required. An automation license is also available: it lets you call a function from your own plugin on the same host application to import a file without user intervention, supply standard input parameters, and avoid the GUI. Floating and automation licenses are offered alongside the paid version.
Updates for the first year are included. The license is perpetual, though updates and support beyond the first year require a renewal. The plugin uses a custom installer rather than the standard App Store installer. Version 4.0.26127.3783 adds 3ds Max 2027 support, extends the trial to 15 days and 30 imports, and updates the About dialog interface.
ProtoTech's PARASOLID Importer for 3ds Max® is best for 3ds Max artists and developers who need to import Parasolid models into the scene for visualization, rendering, or further 3D editing, including automated, GUI-free imports.
ProtoTech's PARASOLID Importer for 3ds Max® is completely free to download and use.
ProtoTech's PARASOLID Importer supports 3ds Max 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027. Support for 3ds Max 2027 was added in a recent update, version 4.0.26127.3783, released May 2026. The plugin runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 only, so a supported Windows release is needed alongside a compatible 3ds Max version. It installs through a custom installer rather than the standard App Store installer. For confirmation on your exact setup, check the developer's page.
ProtoTech's PARASOLID Importer runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 only. There is no support listed for other operating systems, so you'll need one of those Windows releases along with a compatible version of 3ds Max, which spans 2024 through 2027. The plugin installs through a custom installer rather than the standard App Store installer, so follow the developer's instructions to set it up.
ProtoTech's PARASOLID Importer activates a free trial automatically the first time you install it. The trial gives access to the full set of features, with a limit of 30 imports across 15 days. No activation key is required during the trial period. After 30 imports or the 15-day window, you'll need to activate the paid version to keep using the plugin. The trial can be downloaded from the developer's page.
ProtoTech's PARASOLID Importer offers an automation license for standalone PCs. With it, you can call a function from your own plugin on the same host application and import a file without user intervention. This lets you provide standard input parameters for import and avoid the GUI, so imports can run as part of your own plugin's workflow. For licensing details, contact the developer or visit their page.
ProtoTech's PARASOLID Importer is listed as free here.
