Issue Description
I have a 3D DWG, is it possible to bring this into my Archicad project.
Solution
It is possible to import a 3D DWG into Archicad. This element will be converted into an object and will not be editable in Archicad. However, the element will be visible in 3D.
Option 1
Open as a GDL Object
- Open the Object
Go to: File > Libraries and Objects > Open Object. In the dialog box that appears, search for the DWG file and open it. By clicking on the "Settings" button, you can check the DXF-DWG translator settings that will be used during the DWG import. (Only the options used in the 3D DWG conversion are listed.) - Save the Object
Save the imported object using the Save command or by closing the "Open Object" dialog box. - Place the Object
This element is part of the objects. To access it, open the object tool in Archicad and place it.
Option 2
Merge the DWG File

- Select a DWG file to open.
