Of course, it creates quite some work on the blender side, but the results are IMO usable - it took me about 30 minutes to clean the small attached model to a state where each solid is represented as one blender mesh, with instancing kept intact (something I wasn't able to achieve with dae).ģ.) import the dxf with blocks as groups, and no additional mergingĤ.) for each group, select one face, then the rest (SHIFT-G / Group), then Join into one mesh (CTRL-J), then edit (TAB), select all vertices (A), weld all together (W/ remove doubles). I did not intend to promote saving as r12 as ideal solution, just as the only currently available option to export meshes out of shape. (Maybe the Instanced Copies are missing Mayer, proper Geometry (true meshes, welded, face normals)Īnd, (from Vectorworks) I see no difference between FBX and DAE.

There are a number of formats that are very capable and work well today,įBX is again proprietary and FBX Kit from Autodesk has some license issues. Lead to problems with todays Global Illumination calculations anyway. In the past you could just apply a "2-sided" Material but that will often Not welded, there is no way for any automatic repair/conversion. (drawing clock/counter clockwise and other reasons. If the Face Normals aren't properly aligned The problem is that DXF comes in as separate Faces instead ofĪnd as 3D Apps usually render only 1 side of a Face. I used it decades ago as it brought over Grouping from Layers. Vectorworks as a file converter or 3DCONVERT.īut I can't remember what it exactly was.īut DXF is legacy and was always the least common multiple. There was anything that was not satisfying so I went back to īut at least Blocks will come in as a Group and even Block Copies willīe translated as Instance Copies and not as real geometry which is Hohenberg said: V19 FBX has also no, Naming, Layer, Grouping. Material Assignments, to try to sort and separate them manually afterwards. Just a Mesh object fromĮvery CAD Object and at least the Material Assignments.ĭepending on your 3D App of choice there may be an option to filter for The Geometry and Faceīut again, no more Layer or Grouping, no Names. Seem to be duplicated n times they were assigned to objects.īefore v19 FBX option I tried DAE a few times. There is lost all hierarchy and grouping (and naming ?), also all Materials
#Bricscad shape free
I tried a free IFC loader from Github to import IFC into Blender.īut like importing IFC into Bricscad, it is a bit of a mess as it seems that So no Vertices welded, which is a problem. Unfortunately not as separate Meshes per Element but justĪ bunch of separate 3D Faces. If you do that, DXF imports with all Layer's Elements in a separate Group, In Bricscad you have to convert them manually in a file duplicate.
Other CADs have DWG/DXF Exporter(!) options to convert ACIS to Meshes. So all ACIS Solids will be just skipped ! But beside 3DSMax (from Autodesk), no one I know has ACIS licensed.
