ray isaacs Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 while we are waiting for 2014... when i import 3d objects into vw, they are symbols, which makes them very difficult to edit. given that i often have 100's of them, i need to import them as objects, not symbols. is there a way to do this? cheers, ray Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 17, 2013 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 17, 2013 You can not set it that way by default during the import. However, you can select all the objects after import (Or use a Custom Selection/Select Similar tool to select all the 3D Symbols) and then use Modify > Convert > Convert to Group, then Modify > Ungroup and you'll be left with the raw 3D geometry you're looking for.
