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

Anonymous

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"

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
