Import *.dxf... Problem

Post by Scottie »

Hi everybody there.

I am trying to import a 2D or 3D dxf file but nothing appears in the scene. I've tried to change the scaling factor, but nothing changes in the background scene. The 3d model is a 0.2x0.4 (DxL) cylinder, made in Autocad2010. What am I doing wrong?

I would really appreciate any help of you. Thank you in advance.

Hello Nikolas,

The V-REP DXF importer only supports triangular 3D entities (POLYLINE and 3DFACE codes). If your file really contains triangular faces (i.e. non-flat data), try converting your file to a different format that is supported (e.g. OBJ, 3DS, STL or COLLADA). I would suggest using the conversion software AccuTrans3D which can be downloaded.

Cheers
