Problems with SU7
-
I finally made the change to SU7 or should I say I was forced to make the change. I have been having several problems with 7 that I never had with 6. Attached is a model where I am attempting to drape cad lines onto a flat plane but many of the lines do not drape onto the surface and I have to go through and piece it all back together. I also have a model that completely disapears for no reason. Almost like a clipping problem.

I went through and deleted all the lines for the parking spaces thinking that it will reduce the file size and possible work better but now it is worse. can anyone figure out what is going on here?
Thanks

not sure.. i tried it too with the same results..

I also tried and though with different missing lines, indeed, there were a whole bunch of them.

Same problem here. As you are only transferring to a flat face, not a topo, you might want to try the Flatten Face script by Zach Moore, instead of Drape....see if it works any better It's in the Ruby section.

Jeff,
I played with both models a bit. I found the problem more with the cad drawing than with GSU. I have attached both models with a few adjustments. For the first one, with car striping, I deleted the draped model on the ground plane and used "drop" from the 1001 bits tool bar. (I recommend the investment in this tool bar) Then exploded and went over it with "flatten to 2D" and "make faces", "extend close lies" a few times. This helped define some of the areas but many were very stubborn - so - I took the other model without parking to see how it would fair, and spent more time on it. I did the same steps as the first model and was able to make individual spaces over most of the model - left a few for you to do - but the problem making the faces I found to be tiny open lines and double lines. I spent most of my time re-doing many of the boundary lines until the areas formed a face.
I have struggled with these sort of site plans in the past and have not found an easy answer. The rubies help a lot, but on a really messed up Autocad import, it just seems that you need to do a lot of manual cleanup.

Thank you guys
I did find that there were several double lines in the cad file. Unfortunatley this is a project with multiple people working on it so I am getting work from people of varying skill levels. I also am unable to download plugins to this computer because it is a work computer and I dont have admin rights but I will get these plugins for my own laptop.
Jim, you helped me A LOT!!! THANKS I have been banging my head trying to get this working.
