Importing a Drawing

You can import a 2D floor plan to use to trace walls in the 3D modeller.

What do I need?

For this quick-start, the drawing should be in DWG format. You should ensure:

  • The DWG is scaled correctly

  • The DWG document units are correct

  • If using multiple DWGs, they have a common origin

By following the above rules, you will not need to re-scale drawings in the 3D modeller.

Instructions

With the 2D plan view visible, click Import >> CAD from the ribbon:

../_images/Import_DWG.png

Select your DWG and press OK to import the DWG.

The imported DWG should be visible in your 2D plan view. If it is not, it’s visibility can be toggled on and off from the Drawings sidebar:
