Exporting Help Badly Needed

Ok, I have Rhino and Alibre CAD systems. They are evry useful, expensive, and good. They work extremely good on making machanical items. How would I export a item from Rhino or Alibre to Blender so I can add it to my TGE mission?

They're designed for engineering precision first and modeling second, but they are very good programs (though I prefer AutoCAD because I've been using it for many, many versions). Rhino supports 3DS. Export as that. Then you can use Blender to rig and animate models and export them. I have no idea how good the 3DS support is exporting in Rhino or how good the import feature for 3DS models is in Blender and whether anything will be tweaked in the process between programs.
