Unable to Export Spotlight Curved Truss Objects to 3D


Recommended Posts

When I am exporting a model from Vectorworks to Revit or generic 3DS, all objects in my model export except for the Spotlight Curved Truss. I've done it a few different times now and every time, all other objects export fine. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Hm interesting...thanks for sharing.

 

I realized the problem was the geometry was exporting as lines instead of solid models. I had to export the lines to a 3DS and recreate the truss in another program. Navis, Revit, and other 3D modeling programs couldn't understand how to render the lines. I can't attach the fbx export apparently, but here's a screenshot of the truss element rendered in "Wireframe" and in "Solid" views.
