I cannot for the life of me figure out what's wrong. I have Dark GDK for Visual C++ Express and created a new 3D game from the templates menu. The auto-generated code works fine but when I went to try to import my own 3D models using Add:Existing Item I got the error:
"A custom build rule to build files with the extension ".3ds" could not be found."
I get the same error trying to use .x files.

If anyone could tell me if I'm missing something from the install package or how to make my own custom build rules that would be wonderful.

Thank you.

You can't add them in visual studio, you have to load them using dbLoadObject(char* FilePath, int ObjectID) like this:

dbLoadObject("C:\model.x", 10);

Thank you so much. Now when I try to load 3ds files I get the error: Unhandled exception at 0x76f115de in New 3D.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000010 though I think the file is bad and .X is loading just fine. Will these models be included when I compile and export the final program though?

.3ds files come in many different "flavours", some of them can be loaded some can't. Convert all your files to .x or .dbo

no, you have to copy them manualy where your exe is
