I first tried a simple import but the object was a 2-D drawing within the 3-D mode. How do I export a file from Solidworks into Archicad and have the object show up as a regular 3-D image??? <BR /> <BR /> Thank You, <BR /> Nick</B></R></DIV> Fri, 11 Mar 2011 18:18:12 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/importing-and-exporting/m-p/188299#M22667 Anonymous 2011-03-11T18:18:12Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/importing-and-exporting/m-p/188300#M22668 Which of the following formats can Solidworks export into 3D data?<BR /> DWG, 3DS, SketchUp, IFC?
