DWG export issue with dimensions (wrong Z axis)

Michal Forejt — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 19:16:33 GMT

Hi all,

when I export DWG with translator set up to Match File Origin: Select "Survey Point", DWG is not flat, but dimensions are few hundred meters above the rest of the "lines and fills". If I set translator to use "Project origin", it is OK.

Does anyone else have this issue?

Thanks in advance

Are you saying that Dimensions in the DWG file are at a level of a few hundred meters vertically? Can you post a few screenshot of how they look in Archicad and in the resulting DWG? Is the DWG saved from Layouts, I suppose? Can you also show the X,Y, Z coordinates of the Survey Point?

Hi,

thanks for quick reply.

DWG is published from view. Below are some screenshots.

This is a problem connected with survey point setting.

If you set the "Nadmořská výška" in "Umístění" to zero, dwgs will be alright.

But I've tried my now and dimensions are alligned with the drawing.

Try to set the parameters in "Georeferenční parametry pro IFC" based on your survey point setting. Something like this:

Setting "Nadmořská výška" in "Umístění" solves the problem with DWG, but would probably influence also IFC export etc. 😞

Following setting doesn't work either:
