DWG to Mesh

ngoldie — Tue, 23 May 2023 14:16:29 GMT

Hi,

I have been following the following Steps to convert a .dwg of a survey to Mesh:
The procedure to obtain this TXT file was:
1- Open the DWG as an Object
2- Copy the 3D script and Paste it into a simple text editor like Notepad/Textedit
3- Save it as TXT
4- Open the TXT in MS Excel
5- Clean the content in order to obtain separate columns with X,Y,Z values
6- Save it again as (the final)TXT

I am unsure as to which of the 6 columns from the 3D script I converted to TXT are the X,Y,Z values? - see attached.

Thanks
Naomi

Naomi:

This is an article I wrote about the process: Creating a Mesh from a TXT file. I think the fourth column is optional, so you need at least 3 columns with the X, Y and Z values. In your example you need to remove the columns with the zero values.
