    • RE: [Plugin] Dxf_In v2.2 20110517 Dxf2Skp

      honoluludesktop,

      Thanks for looking at my application and for the update. I really appreciate your interest and help. I tried the updated plugin on a larger file. It read in a lot of the 3dfaces but gave me a "<Error> Bad 3dface" message for the rest. I've attached a somewhat bigger sample that shows that issue. Any thoughts? It's my understanding that the sample file that I sent, TestFile.dxf, has x,y,z coordinates for all points. Some values are zero. I'm not sure that I understand your comment about the missing z's.

      My use has been that of a hobbyist and found that dxf was a man readable format that I could understand and generate myself. I downloaded a guide for dxf and used it to write the files. These files read into SU and I was content with the results. It seems that you have a more definitive (and possibly different) format for dxf. Can you point me to the source for that format. Since I'm generating the file, I can conform and hopefully get the rest of the way there.

      Thanks again for your help,
      dsct

      Honoluludesktop,

      I just found your plugin and it is what I've been looking for. I appreciate your sharing it with other users. I generate surfaces in my own program and write out a dxf file using 3dface entities. The old version of SU free read them nicely allowing me to view them in 3D. I downloaded your plugin but it isn't working for me yet. It shows on the menu under file and brings up the browser. However, I get a message "<Error> or Empty File" which I see comes from the plugin. Is there a SU setting that I'm missing or something that I may not be doing correctly?

      I've attached a small sample file of the type I'm generating.

      Thanks for any help,
