Archicad to Illustrator to "Colour In" Floor Plan

[Anonymous]

I am trying to find a way to colour in floor plans created in Archicad (21?) 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?!

3D elements will be converted to lots of line segments. 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.

2D drafted circles should export fine, I would say, but you won't see many of these.

You could ask for a DWG export instead to maybe end up with polylines.
