cberg Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Does anybody know of a good way to cleanly export walls to dwg (as 3d objects) so that they only have exterior faces and no interior schtuff. I'm sure it has something to do with the class organization of my wall components... Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Will it work if you assign all components to "Wall Class" ? As it does work for example for Windows and Doors if you assign the same Class to inner and outer Frame, to get a single Frame Geometry. Not very comfortable if you have to adapt each Wall Style just for an Export. If you need it more often you could duplicate all your Wall Styles for an export Version that you will assign temporary before an Export. Another Idea could be to make a Duplicate of your VW File and try to combine your Walls by "Add Solids" and maybe convert everything to generic Solids in the end. Depending on where to export the Walls to and what to do with them, Conversion and Boolean Operations may be easier in the target Software. Quote Link to comment
cberg Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 I just learned to deal with it. :-) Doesn't appear to be a good answer to this. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 What do you do with those DWG Exports ? For Visualization purposes where that unwanted complexity is hindering ? Learnt to deal with it, in the form of having complex Walls in DWGs or duplicating the file and edit your Wall Styles ? Quote Link to comment
nubourne Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'm very interested in this topic too! I know it's been a while since anyone's posted to the thread. I work as a scenic designer for theatre and several of my colleagues still use AutoCAD. When I send them my VW turned DWG file none of the walls appear in any view except for top/plan (dwg equivalent?). Has there been a fix to this? Is there a way around it? Thanks!
