What is ProtoTech's PARASOLID Importer for 3ds Max®-Trial?

ProtoTech's PARASOLID Importer for 3ds Max lets you import Parasolid models directly into the 3ds Max platform for visualization, rendering, and further 3D editing. Colors are carried through into the imported model, and the importer supports 3ds Max 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027.

This is the trial edition. It runs for a 15-day trial period or 30 imports, and no activation key is required during that window; after that, you activate the paid version. An automation license option is also available, letting you call a function from your own plugin on the same host application to import files without user intervention, supply standard input parameters, and skip the GUI.

The plugin runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 only and uses a custom installer rather than the standard App Store installer. The license is perpetual, with all updates free for the first year; accessing versions released more than a year after purchase requires a license upgrade.
