Archicad 20 rendering DWG files to 3D

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone,

I am a new user of this awesome program still trying to understand how to operate this program.
I currently have DWG files that i am trying to convert to 3D but i am having issues. I have a front facade of a home that i am trying to render
I select Open file then goto DOCUMENT select <Creative Imaging> then <photo renderingprojecting> then the picture tab opens with background colour and no design.
Is there some steps i need to follow prior so i can get the 3D picture?
Please keep process simple as i am a frreessh starter.

Thanks

ARCHICAD does not convert AutoCAD 2D elements automatically to 3D you need to model them.

If the Autocad file has a Model then you need to import it as an object to keep its 3D Settings (File-> Library and Objects -> Open Library Part -> External File)

If you already have modeled the facade en ARCHICAD then check that the layers are on in the 3D Window prior to rendering.
