DWG to DXF to HASH

[detbear]

Hey all,

 

I'm actually not a newbie at A:M.....But certainly new at this

 

I want to use a DWG file from Auto Cad 2007. I tried to convert it in another app to a DXF then import the DXF to HASH.....But as you guessed it gave me nothing but "0" vertices and surfaces....Or something like that.

 

Is there a way to convert a DWG straight into Hash....Plugin or something? Or a way to get this to work at all. The DXF doesn't seem to work.

OK as a fellow newby i have these words of advice if you are using Block type building or straght line construction it best to just create a picture and copy it using a rotoscope. as AM uses spines not lines ( no pun ) and every model that iv pulled over from those type of applications turns into a blooby mess that takes 2 hours to rebuild. Eather that or i need someone to teach me how to do a direct transfer of a .3DS model only importing the points and not the lines.

Can CAD apps export obj? I've had good experiences with that format in the past.

I managed to import the cad DWG into another app....then I exported it out again as an .Obj.....I managed to get some stuff, but it came in all wacky.. I'm guessing it's the settings that I used but I mostly ended up relying on drawing the lines from plans brought in as rotoscopes.

ACAD can convert to dxf directly. I think you would need to make your drawing with the spline system in ACAD before you convert it.
