Frequently Asked Questions

When importing a dxf file, the Editor shows the message "Floor too large"?

This message does not have to mean, that the size of your floor plan is too large (cell grid requires too much memory). The most common problem are the different coordinate systems, some CAD programs use. E.g. a global and a local coordinate system. When the CAD-files are imported into the editor, the referred origin is the origin of the global coordinate system. If the distance between the origin of the local coordinate system and the global coordinate system is too large, the message "Floor too large" appears.
Solution: Move the origin of the local coordinate system to the origin of the global coordinate system.

My CAD drawing has changed, how should I adjust my model?

Within the project directory, the dxf files are saved in the /DXF directory. Every level is represented by its own file. You can overwrite the appropriate file with the new dxf file. After reloading the project in the Editor, use the filter buttons to visualize the dxf content. You can then model the new geometry over the given dxf data.
