Ground floor missing?
Hi Everybody
I had a full working model, and now when I go to CAD input and select the ground floor, the software brings the first floor instead. When I look to the 3d view only 2 or 3 rooms are present, the rest are missing. The file xxx.dfx.cache…
3d view problems
Hi. The building in 3d View shows very far adding the second floor and I cannot really see it, any tips? As soon as I remove the floor the 3d view comes back as normal.
building brought vertically
Hi
The building is importing vertically rather horizontally, despite that on the dxf is horizontally. Is it something to do with the angle to South (as it is 345deg). The angle to South is entered as per instructions in this forum

Issues Adding Roofs
Hi,
I'm having some problems adding roofs to my model. After extending the walls up to roof level large cutaways appear in the side of the building. I have created the roof in three parts accoring to which level it should attach to. The cutaways seem…

RE: Modelling variable wall construction in single element
Hi Roy, it may depend on the type of calculation you are doing as to the best solution. The simplest option is to create an Exposed Wall in Fabric Data using the layer data for the above ground wall. Once created you can adjust the calculated U-Value…

RE: Changes to Building layout
Hi Clive,
I suspect that your DXF background is not updating to your new layout due to the cache files within the project folder. If your new DXFs have the same name as the old ones then the cache files will be used.
To display the new DXF, simply…

I am trying to trace the room outline on my dxf file's (in CAD input section) and each time I try…
