aha!, check create 3D worked, I then just change the view and convert the object to polygons perfect thanks

I am using VW 11.0.1 How do I properly create a stairway that can be viewed in side elevation? I create the stair, adjust the properties to the correct size, and the result is a stair in plan view. I figured that changing "view" to left or right would do it but it isnt working. Is there a checkbox in th estair properties dialog that I must check in order to change the view of a stair to th eside elevation? thank you

BRILLIANT! you guys rock!, appending .mcd to the files worked like a champ. The file transfer via ftp between my mac and my PC proved to be a little finicky but after a few tries I had a file that would translate. My buddy brought his laptop over and we transferred the file from my PC to his and his VW11 opened the file up perfectly. I cant thank you enough. And MikeM oz...thank you very much, I got it working ex

Thanks for your replies. I think I wasnt clear in my explanation. I have Minicad 7 running on my mac, I do not have any other version of Minicad or VW. The translator mentioned above only works if VW9 is present on the system where the translations are to occur and only then if its a Mac. The system which I need to get my files to ia VW11 running on XP. again thanks

Forgive me if this is the wrong forum. I have several (under 15) mincad 7 files on my iMac that I need send to a friend that used Vectorworks 11 on Win XP. I have tried exprting DWG and DXF files but with mixed results. So that leads me to my central question: how do I do it? Will minicad 7(mac) files open directly into Vectorworks 11 (mac)? and if so will those files be cross platform and open in VW11(Win)? Are there people out there who will do this? Thanks for any help you can give me
