3d Topo surveys into ArchiCad

[Anonymous]

We get our surveys in 3D AutoCad. Is there a way to import the file and preserve the "Z" coordinates?

Import block as library object?

I believe ArchiTerra can do that for you.

ArchiTerra will open the 3D and create a topo mesh on top.

Check it out - it works.

only works with DXF files though...

We're getting DWGs coming through the door and have no way of bringing them into AC...

😞

I'm not at work at the moment so can't test, but this software might work for converting your dwgs:

or, not free but this:
