I received a PDF in which I opened in illustrator as "apparently" Illustrator converts the PDF into lines/strokes/shapes automatically. It does but it creates many layers of very small lines that are made to create a shape but the points are not joined. eg. a circle (representative of a table) produces 80 straight lines... It's like Archicad does not export curved lines or Illustrator doesn't convert circles properly?! Does anyone have a fix for this?!</T></DIV> Tue, 14 Aug 2018 13:28:48 GMT Anonymous 2018-08-14T13:28:48Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Archicad-to-Illustrator-to-quot-Colour-In-quot-Floor-Plan/m-p/233580#M29971 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>I am trying to find a way to colour in floor plans created in Archicad (21?)

So an elevation or section of a round shape will have segments, there is nothing to be done about this: the shape is made up of polygons in 3D.<BR /> <BR /> 2D drafted circles should export fine, I would say, but you won't see many of these.<BR /> <BR /> You could ask for a DWG export instead to maybe end up with polylines.
