Export/Import DXF in 3D, is it doable?

Anonymous — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:39:36 GMT

Hi,
Is it possible to Export/Import DXF (not DWG) in 3D & how, and also modify the model?
Thanks,
Joseph

From the 3D window save as a DWG.

Even from 3D window the dxf file is exported as the top view.
How about importing a dxf?

DXF = LCD

Import to ArchiCAD by opening it as a library part.

Joseph has a structural program from which he can export and bring in the model to archicad as a library part.
What he can't figure out is how to export from archicad such that he can import it into his structural program.

Joseph, why don't you post what your structural program is and the file formats it can import?

Thanks Erika,
THe name of structural application is Risa-3D by Risa Technologies http://www.risatech.com/

the capable file formats are:
DXF, Staad, Pro Steel Exchange, Bim Exchange .exc

Thanks,
