Imported Object is Too Triangulated for 2D Views

[Anonymous]

I have a chair object that was supplied by the manufacture as a 3D.DWG file. I have imported this object into Archicad where it renders very well. However the 2D views are too triangulated to be of any use. I know I can edit the object and insert a 2D drawing into the 2D Symbol location, but this does not help me for elevation views. I thought I could use PROJECT2 3,270,2 to clean some of this up, but the object is apparently too complex to do the "on the fly calculations" that I assume the PROJECT command performs. I am not sure the PROJECT2 command would take care of this issue anyway. Is there any way to get this object to remove the triangulations in the 2D views? I can email you the gsm object. It was too large to attach to this topic.

Sounds like a really lumpy chair 🙂
Have you looked through the GDL depository on the front page of actalk to see if there is something close to what you want?
