[Equest-users] Attempting an import of 3D AutoCAD dwg file with no success...

[Singhal, Harshul]

Hi

Two things here:


1.       I am not sure if you can import 3D model in eQuest. Generally 2D Cad drawings are imported in eQuest interface.

2.       You can convert your dwg files to dxf files (2010 format) and see if it works.

Thanks

I'm trying to import a model of a building, done in AutoCAD 2013 as a 3D model and exported as a .dwg file - and have had no success.



My process -

Open eQuest, select "Create a New Project via the Wizard"

Choose "Design Development Wizard"

Step through 7 entry screens, to get to Navigator

Select "Building Envelope and Loads" from "Bldg Shell Components" list and select "Edit Selected Shell" button

Click on "Next" to get to Wizard Screen 2 of 25, then select "- custom -" from "Footprint Shape" drop-down

Leave "Start With..." button on "Previously Defined Footprint" and select "- Import CAD file -" from "CAD File:" drop-down

Browse to file and open, then get the following messages, in order...





[cid:image001.jpg at 01CF8A49.9B7956E0]     then      [cid:image002.jpg at 01CF8A49.9B7956E0]       then     [cid:image003.jpg at 01CF8A49.9B7956E0]





Can anyone shed some light on what's wrong?



Feel free to respond to me directly or the list... and thanks!
