3D DXF in to 3D gdl

Is there a way to import 3D DWG/DXF files, and to convert them in to 3D gdl files, and how. I have downloaded some Duravit washbasins in DXF format but I'm not able to import them as 3D elements.

in most cases all DWG/DXF entities can load into AC, in DWG translator You have to sometimes "reload functions"( in misc section AFAIR) and then switch on some positions in the functions tree - like acis solids or polymesh etc.

You could also try opening them as a library part.

Hi all, I tried all of that, open file, open library part, merge, place external drawing, attach xref, import blocks from dxf/dwg, in translator I tried to use Binary 3D and gdl script, but nothing seems to work.

I solve it, Piotr you tip did it, In translator Custom functions - Open extras - Reload functions, and then 3D solid - Convert to GDL objects. After that go to Import blocks from dxf/dwg, AC creates library parts in embedded library. I think that this proces should be more easier.

New objects are created in embedded library.

The reload function is done once - after that You can save translator and use it when needed.
