Missing Walls in Exporting to DWG

Anonymous

Hello,

When I export/Save As Archicad floor plans to DWG and open to see, everything looks ok. When I send them to the consultants and they open them in Autocad, walls and objects are missing. What do I need to do so when they open the files in Autocad, what they see is what I sent them? Thanks.

Try opening your DWG in a non-archicad viewer. There are several free ones available including DWG Trueview on the Autodesk site. This way you will see what they are and can check if you are exporting correctly.

Also look on Graphisofts Help site for how to export DWGs
