3d Cad Model Wheelchairs
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately not much luck so far.

Importing from 3D warehouse sketch ups 2018 files are either damaged or corrupted. 2017 versions import but crashed vectorworks 2019 several times. Eventually have imported by not crashing but can only be seen in plan view in design layer but can be seen 3D in viewport. However model is not solid and is made of mesh lines only.
Tried importing under different settings without much success. Trying Grab Cad but can not find a sketchup or vectorworks format. I will keep trying. Disappointed that vectorworks do not have a simple 3D or even 2D of a wheelchair in architectural objects - a discrimination!
Wheels Designed in 3D Improve Wheelchair Mobility 21 Nov, 2007 By: Steve Meginniss describes himself as an early adapter of CAD technology. He bought his first AutoCAD 1.15 program in the mid-1980s and hasn't looked back since. A successful inventor, he has used applications to design products that are now common personal appliances you are likely to find in your bathroom, including the Sonicare toothbrush and the Clarisonic skin care brush. Always looking for a new challenge, Meginniss stumbled upon a potential market in the mid-1990s that was previously unknown to him.
Working with the University of Washington on prospective mobility projects, he discovered that manual wheelchairs have quick-release axles that allow the standard drive wheels to be replaced with different types of wheels. Meginniss also learned that, overall, manual wheelchairs have changed very little since being patented in 1869. Hand rims and wheels remain much the same, and the chairs have only one speed. Meginniss set out to change that fact by designing mechanical wheels that would provide the user with two easily shifted gears for mobility enhancement to navigate ramps, hills, and rough terrain as well as with an automatic hill holding with override feature in the lower gear that prevents the wheelchair from rolling backward on inclines. And with that simple idea, he began a 10-year journey to create. A manual wheelchair with the MAGICWHEELS product installed. The Challenge of Complex Surfaces Similar to the technology found on bicycles, the concept behind MAGICWHEELS is simple, but the product itself comprises a multitude of complex surfaces.
After years of using AutoCAD and then learning 3D in Mechanical Desktop, Meginniss implemented Autodesk Inventor when his company became operational in 2001 and his team designed the final MAGICWHEELS product in this program. The appeals of Inventor are advanced surfacing modeling and animation capabilities, Meginniss explained. 'It's almost impossible to do something like MAGICWHEELS' two-gear drive without a 3D CAD system because many precision parts have to nest together,' he said. 'Many times we found parts interfered with the shifting system. Inventor has a system where you can animate it, and it will show the interferences.'

Put your original Xbox disks on the X360 and maybe you can play one of these games. Now this is my educated opinion on the matter, so just hear this thought process out. I think this emulator is only capable of playing pirated game copies or digital-only games. I played Fable, Ninja Gaiden Black and the original Forza on it. It was part of the Xbox 360, many games of the first Xbox worked.
Inventor's capability revealed interferences, which proved to be a key element when it came time to move from design to prototype. 'We were able to make these complex surfaces and transfer them into the mold maker's CAM software without any problems,' Meginniss said. 'I had another project where we had solid models that didn't fit together correctly. We had to have them all done over. I was impressed that we could build these models in Inventor and get them into CAM systems without any trouble.'
Learning Curve The Magic Wheels team learned Inventor while designing the final version of Magic Wheels' product, an effective but challenging way to learn the program. 'It was brutal at times,' he admitted. 'But the team got good support from the local Autodesk reseller.' Once the product was finally ready for testing, Meginniss discovered more surprising elements about his new market. Manual wheelchair users frequently suffer from shoulder pain because of the physical stress of controlling their wheelchairs with their upper bodies.
