hi all - i'm a 3D animator trying to import 3D DWG files that an architect has given me, they were exported from Vectorworks 12.5.
i have no experience with Vectorworks, but i'm told by the architect it can only export DWG or PDF... is this the case..? FBX, 3DS or OBJ would be more useful.
anyway the DWGs import without error, however there are double copies of some objects & quadruple copies of others, which makes it a real hassle to clean up. i'm told this is the way the architect draws their plans, layered.. its definitely not an import issue as the same thing happens when importing in several 3D programs.
are there export options i can tell the architect to use that will avoid or flatten the layering on export so i get a single copy of all the objects...? (hopefully not the whole scene as 1 object though). sorry i can't provide any more info & any help would be much appreciated.
