Eventually an update:
This is my Solidworks assembly taken into Cinema 4D for rendering.
I have had real trouble finding a converter to do this, to turn a solidworks file to a Wavefront OBJ. There are some free ones listed, but I couldn't get any of them to work with Solidworks 2013.
So i eventually found Transmagic, but it was only a free sample and they wanted £5000 for the full plug in!!!!
it seems the best thing to do is either export out of Solidworks as a WRL file, or use the free programme Meshlab:http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/ to convert an stl to an obj or a wrl file.
