DWG Clutter in 2d after import

[magnusboyle]

Hi! 

I am importing a DWG from capture (www.capture.se) and it looks right in 3D. In Top plan 2D though, it has a lot of clutter. It's not a new issue for me, but I never really solved it very well. Anything I'm missing here?

Assume it's because it's importing everything as a mesh-like group of 3d faces, and top/plan displays those kinds of objects in wireframe. VW doesn't know it's looking at walls or floors and top/plan only really works with objects that are programmed with a 2d representation for top/plan.

 

Personally I would use a horizontal section. Then you can view that geometry in hidden line. You can adjust the cut plane height depending on whether you want a plan layout or a birdseye view.
