John A Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I am trying to import an Autocad file, which is easy. But when you pop the dwg background up as an isometric, it is in three widely varying vertical layers (like 3 different z coordinates?). I have looked back at the import settings but don't see what I should do differently. Am i overlooking something to bring the file in as a flat plane? Quote Link to comment
John A Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 One thing I have determined, a number of the polygons from the dwg file imported as 3d polygons and have varying z coordinates. I have never had this happen when importing dwg files before. Quote Link to comment
ray isaacs Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 john, i have had issues importing dwg documents. but the z coordinates are accurate as created in the program that produced the dwg. did you check the document in autocad to verify the z coordiantes? ray Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 There is an option in the DXF/DWG import dialog settings to import as all 2D, all 3D or as drawn. Just pick to 2D option and reimport. Quote Link to comment
