AutoCAD Architecture :: Convert 3D Furniture Into ACA Model
Dec 12, 2013
I am looking for furniture content for renderings. I find some in Autodesk Seek. Most of the items are autocad 3d . It looks like they are built with surfaces. I want to make them usuable in 3d models in Autocad for architecture. I would like them to be easily accessible from the tool palletes. They seem similar to the ones that come from Archidigm. How do I drag and drop these 3d models into the tool pallette - I tried to first convert them into a blcok , but that did not work. Where can I find good furniture content, ready to drop into tool palllettes for ACA?

My problem today is that I made a Model of a Part of a ship using surfaces rather than solids because the engineer thought it would be easier to bring into ANSYS program for analysis but he is now having a problem with it and I am looking into converting my current model to solid. I can do it but the method I thought of using is quite long winded and we are working to a tight deadline.
1.open up the surface part
2.use "Offset/Thicken"
3.any clashes between parts make a sketch and cut away.
the problem is the amount of plates I have and the time it takes to sort them out.

We received a surface model from a vendor that I have patched up as best I can, it still has one hole that I can find that I haven't been able to fill. Ideally we would like to have a solid model, but I'm running out of time to get this done and the surface model we have would be good enough for our purposes IF I can get the yellow surface tangent lines to turn off or change their color to black.
I've attached a jpg of the surface model with the yellow lines and uploaded the model here: [URL].....

I followed up their way as URL....but still I cannot get correct solid model when I try to convert attached STEP model to IPT. I just can get surface model, but I do not solid one.

I need to put my 3d model on a piece of paper, so I need to have annotate and different views (FRONT and/or TOP and/or Right) of the model.
I tried to use FLATSPOT command, but all annotations (dimensions) are gone. Also, is there any easy way to do annotations?

I got a 3D model from a building but somehow it is not solid, you can "see trough the walls" (as in image attached). I want to create a plan view for each floor and a side view from this 3d model.

I am working on a research project that requires that I scan a cast object and shell it out to a width of .125 inches. I used my school's 3D scanner to scan the cast, and I have a good model. I've made it a surface and exported it as an STP and an IGS into Inventor. I used the Sculpt feature to make it a solid object, but then I could not shell it because a few flaws in the cast made miniscule holes.
I then tried to use the scanning program's spline feature to cut the cast into splines to loft in Inventor. However, this made 5 non-connected lines at each location, so I couldn't loft. How to create a solid and then shell with either method?

I've got a very complex 3D AutoCAD model (exported as DWG) that's come from an external company that use Micro station. Ultimately I'm trying to link it into Revit, but I'm having problems doing this. What I'd like to do is convert the 3D faceted model into a wireframe ONLY model, ie. remove all the faces. (I've got another wire frame model in Revit already so I know this will work) I know you can change the 'view' by using SHADEMODE but I'd like to actually remove the faces from the model all together leaving only the lines on the 'edges'. So the Wireframe view of Shade mode is exactly what I want but I need to get those faces out somehow.
I've tried exploding it all, but that only gets rid of a few faces ...thought exporting to DXF might do it but hasn't.

I can convert the dwg to a bitmap, but the problem is when I select the object to convert the viewport is also displayed. If I do not activate model space, to select object, then nothing is displayed but viewport. Am I missing a step?

I would like to create sections from my 3D model that would directly associate the layers cut from the model. In other words, I would like the line work in the section to be on the same layer as entities in model.

I;m trying to setup linked files in max from AutoCAD Architecture 2013. However, for each file attached the levels of the project from ACA are not recognized in MAX - all the levels are stacked ontop of eachother in the same place. I did not see an option in the presets for MAX to understand this.

I am creating a project with multiple level in ACA 2014. Set up levels like we always have but now we have a project where the lowest level is below 0. When I generate a model or elevations, the model is created with the lowest level inserted at z=0, not the real level.
After I experimented, if you create a model with say level 1 & 2 not included, it creates the model with level 2 @ z=0 ?

having several simple (AuoCAD Architecture) DWG room floor plans, based on basic 2D lines, etc, I am searching for a possibility to make them ready for 3D (for e.g. converting lines to wall objects with default height, etc).
Are there any common tools specialized on this issue?
Or would it make sense to build for e.g. a VBA tool to support the CAD technician for repetitive tasks, like extrusions, in order to goal 3D, without having to draw everything (new) from scratch.

I'm using ACA 2013.
While in a view I make a "New Model Space View". After I tag this MSV it seems that being able to see the border of each MSV that is in my view dwg would be a useful thing. Is there anyway to turn this boundary on?

We have a bit of an urgent situation at work. Namely we have stepped over from standard AutoCAD 2010 to AutoCAD Architectural suit 2012.
The situation is as such that if we set our search path to our ctb and our dwt (nothing else no other search path changes) our dwt templates load as being visibly black/white all the colour information is wrong.
Upon closer inspection of elements draw in the dwt for example a line though it still displays as being physically black/ white the properties menu declares it as being the colour we need it to be for example red. We have double-checked in our plot dialogue box if the ctb is present and its presence is confirmed. The peculiarity is though if we try and locate it using our (findfile “CTB\NAME\AND\PATH” method the command prompt returns nil meaning as far as I have come to understand as missing/ not loaded/ not found. A line the properties menu states the plot style is set to ByColor and not by the specific CTB file as when the same line is selected in AutoCAD 2010.
We have quite an extensive customisation comprising almost of every kind of file AutoCAD has put up for user customisability so my instinct was that something within the whole customisation was causing our issue.
We have since rid of all customisations and reset the profile using AutoCAD and as double backup also via the registry keys, we also have deleted our corresponding AutoCAD application folder in the hope of eliminating some nasty that may of stayed behind.
We have no plug-ins that cannot be the problem. Further experimentation shows that if we create a search path using the following lisp the colours are displayed right for the duration of the AutoCAD session but upon restarting AutoCAD the colours again become black/ and white.
When entities such as the lines are moved the items being moved flicker across the screen in their correct colour, once placed the image instantly shows as being black/ white again.
As final symptom our model space colour seems to be the only thing effected, our layout tabs are fine however we don’t work in layouts but rather in model space.
I have also as last used the vars2src command in AutoCAD 2010 and imported the variable settings into AutoCAD architectural suit 2012 hoping that the issue was a variable setting overlooked, to no avail though. Neither is our desktop icon enabled with any switches such as profiles.

When connecting to an Industry Model one can use the Convert to Industry Model dialog.Here you can select the source you want to map. This can be an FDO connection, a file (SDF, SSQLite, DWG).If you choose DWG, 4 options can be used as input/source:
AutoCAD Entities,
Layers
Object data
Block Names
However, the MAP 3D feature classes (from Classification) are not listed here, nor can I find (Hoping I am overlooking it) a way of converting mapping them to the IM. Seems the only option is to redo the classification "defintion" effort again.
If this is the case, I am getting more the impression that Map3D is becomming a bunch of tools rather then a consistent framework supporting a step by step path from CAD to GIS to Industry Model type it is being marketed.
