NeilofOZ Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Just imported a 3D cad object into my library as a symbol, but can't match the Floor Plan position to the Render view's, see attached pic. Have played "ring-a ring-a-rosie" for the last two hours but nothing will match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It looks as though it was rotated at some point and the 2D cad block was not updated. Open the symbol DBX and under the 2D Block tab use the "Generate Block" button. Also I am not sure that chief will generate a proper cad block in the correct location if there is an X or Y Origin Offset under the 3D tab. Post the plan or a sample if that does not work for you.

rlackore Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Also check the Origin Offset: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilofOZ Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Fellas, Have used the "2D Generate Block" and there are no offsets to the Origin. The file format is dae. and I noticed originally that the positions did not match the views in this file also ( see attached ) so nothing achieved. The Object only came as a single colour with no provision to modify, so there's not much point in using it, but it would be good if I knew what's happening, for future reference. Plan is too big to send, but attached original object file, if this helps. afanche.atd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I was able to do it to a .skp File recently. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
