Kleo,

Posting the same question to three different forums within minutes of each other is considered spam, at least by me... and I almost banned you from the forums. I am answering in the Library forum.

Please post once in the future, make your question as clear as you can, and always give the version of ArchiCAD and which OS (XP or OS X) you are using.

File menu ... from there, it depends on which version of ArchiCAD you are using... Open New Object, change file type to DWG, locate your dwg file, and choose the appropriate translator.

Only by opening a dwg file as an object (which is then of course saved as a gsm) can you see any 3D content in a dwg.

No need to cross post - it just makes people cross!

Just go to File>Libraries and Objects>Open Object... and open your dwg as an object. Then File>Save it as a GSM. This has the benefit of showing up in the 3D window.

Cheers,

Hello GOKLEO,

please follow the step:

1. Select your DWG (can be lines, 3D objects or what ever).
2. go to "File".
3. drop down menu " Libraries and objects"
4. "Save selection as".
5. save your file as gsm.

hope that helps.

Nope, that can't work, Starchi, as the only way to get 3D dwg content into ArchiCAD is via a GDL object using the method given here:
