Hi Guys,
I am new to the forum and i use CAD every day, i draw extensions and was wondering if i could load my normal DWG drawing into a programme that will automatically convert it to 3D so i can then show my clients or would i have to completely re draw the plan in 3d??
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers guys

Hello Mike, to my knowledge no program will automatically convert a 2D floor plan into a 3D model. But you can use something like SketchUp and easily make a 3D model from a floorplan. Have a look... www.sketchup.com |

*automatic* hehe
ya use Rhinoceros3d i say v4 sr1 just dropped
sketchup is like paint compared to Photoshop
pixels compared to vectors , mesh compared to nurbs.
and those systems who proport BIM 'systems' solutions well they are to constraining and ridged.
not so much 're-draw' but extrude and/or model, to lift volumitize

I have an AutoCAD file created by AutoCAD 2004 and copy it on CD-R but when I try to open with AutoCAD 2004 or AutoCAD 2006 I recieve the following message :
"Cannot find the specified drawing file . Please verify that the file exists."
And if I copy the same file on my hard disk I can open it normaly using AutoCAD 2002 or AutoCAD 2004 . The problem only that when I try to open the file from the CD . I used another computers and copied the same file on different types of CD,S but the same problem appeared .

Could be a setting with your temp directory? Not sure but maybe a place to look at. Since the drawing is on a CD-R which cannot be wrote to it does not work but when coppied to a directory where it can right back it works. Weird! I would have tought that it would have just opened as a read-only file. |
