zeno Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone sometimes I need to use BIMOBJECT command, but sometimes I find some problems to download it. For instance, when I find .rfa file (refit). Did you have some suggest about file format in BimObject? Edited September 25, 2018 by Zeno Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted September 27, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 27, 2018 The BIMobject tool in vectorworks will automatically filter BIMobject content for file types including VWX, DWG, SKP, and 3DS. If one of these file types is chosen in the BIMobject web-view window, the tool will automatically download and convert the file. If a VWX file is available, it is the obvious choice. Then I would probably prefer (in order) DWG (choose the 3D option, often there are 2D files also), SKP, and then 3DS. RVT / RFA files are not handled by the tool at this time. 1 Quote Link to comment
