How to make imported 3ds object look good on the plan view?

When I import 3ds model as gdl object and place it on the floor plan it looks so messy. Is there a quick way to edit that gdl model to make it look "clean".

Thanks!

Hi Vilcane,

You can open your imported objects File / Libraries and Objects / Open Object. Clean it up in 2D Symbol window by Archicad Documentation Tools to suite your need in "Object plan view"
