My name is Eli Wasserman, I'm a multimedia artist and together with my wife Rachel, an architect, we are planning a Bio-mimic architectural project in Hongkong. I have the following question: Is it possible to convert a Pdb file (or any other Pymol format) to a 3D file (3ds) or a CAD file? Our goal is to apply a molecula structure in the project, therefor we need to find a way to export the Pymol's molecula structure into our modeling programs (3D studio max, Autocad).
we will appreciate very much any kind of advising.

Hi Eli,

There might be other options, but PolyTrans can convert PDB into 3DS:

However, I think this will only export the coordinates themselves, not their rendering etc.

Hope this helps - Luca
