      Good morning all!

      I'm currently working on a project with vendor supplied CAD files in .dwg format.

      The problem is, when I view the file in a DWG viewer (screen on right) everything looks fine.

      However when I import the file into SU, (screen on left) it barely imports anything!

      This is not the first time this has happened so I would really love to find a solution to this.

      Im confused as to how the elements could be there in the viewer but not import when bringing into SU? 😒

      If anyone has a solution to this problem, please pass it along!!

      Thanks!

      Dan

          It contains a 'Proxy' object.
          I opened it in CAD and Exploded it and got a lot more to Import...
          BUT it is still pretty much useless !

            Some of the more recent AutoCAD programs allow a fbx or obj export. That could be a better way of getting a good transition.

            I could do it for you, if you can't with your version.

            I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
