Autocad drawing into Archicad

M_34 — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 09:03:00 GMT

I've received an AutoCAD 2D floor plan. I want to model it in 3D using ArchiCAD, but I'm having trouble creating walls due to the constant changes in wall thickness. Is there a way to address this issue?

Operating system used: Windows

As in the walls change thickness along their length? You could use the Trapezoid Geometry Method for your walls.

Ling, thanks.

I tried it, but the thickness keeps changing a couple of times along a single wall, and I struggled to adjust the parameters the whole time. I was wondering if there were any tricks with "Magic Wand" that I could've used. AI suggested using Fill and Morph Tools, but it didn't help

Can you show an example image for the problem you are having?
