Hi,I am trying to create a 3D object from a .dwg file that has contours in it at 1m height intervals. I can get it into imported into ArchiCAD no trouble. But when I try to save the 3D object I get an error message saying 'To save this object in version 28, you must choose a...

Hi, I am doing a small project in imperial units. All the project settings have been changed to imperial yet when I insert the default scale bar from the Object Tool I always get a metric scale bar. The view has been saved out with all the imperial settings yet I still get a...

Here is what I have tried: I attached the relevant georeferenced xrefs so they all stack (align) with each other. At this point the drawings are thousands of kilometers away from the project origin. I activated the survey point which was dead on the project origin. I then mo...

Tell me if I have this right. After dropping in the georeferenced xref files so they stack correctly, I then move the entire project somewhere near the project origin. Then I activate the survey point, at which stage I need the Easting and Northing values (from the surveyor ...

Yes, I've noticed that. I am curious though if it's possible in AC to simply drop in (xref) georeferenced files with respect to the origin, place a hotspot where the origin was, and then move the origin closer to the georeferenced file? Then, when the surveyor needs to go an...

Thanks Barry, I feel like a bit of a dope, but it is my first time making a 3D object. If I may ask, because this is technically surveyors data (3D contours), I am guessing now that as a placeable object it has lost its original coordinate system so cannot be place in its or...

I understand the frustration. Normally it works just fine and adjusts automatically based on the files' units that have been set up. Now, for some frustrating reason it just defaults to metric every single time. Very annoying.
