detbear Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 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.

Master chief Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Can CAD apps export obj? I've had good experiences with that format in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detbear Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBREIT Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
