[BLDG-SIM] IES Virtual Environment

[CK Tang]

Bob,

As far as I know, IES can export in 3D DXF (or 2D DXF slices) but only 
import in 2D DXF. 2D DXF can then be extruded into 3D model provided 
that the DXF meets the basic requirement, i.e. room name exist, every 
room is a enclosed loop. I find it easier to retrace architectural 
drawing in the CAD software first and export only this layer out as DXF 
and use IES to extrude it into 3D.

I suggest the use of gbXML format to import 3D models into IES which 
works quite well.

Kind regards,

CK
