ExcelNow2 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I have recently done a movie for a client driving through a community. Recently the Site Plan has been redone to show the real slope of the land. I keep inserting the "dwg" site plan with the topos, but the scale is wrong. I realize the scale is wrong when I draw a street and the width of the street is bigger than the community. I have tried scaling up the "dwg" before inserting, but the same thing keeps happening. What am I doing wrong? 04-29-20 637 & 667 Puckett Drive Siteplan.dwg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 When you import make sure you set the FEET, I bet it imported as INCHES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 A good reminder that whenever sending someone a dwg file, the kind thing to do is to list the exported parameters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelNow2 Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Oh, My! I am pretty sure that I set it as inches. Wow I am excited already. I am going to try the new setting right now. I bet you were Right Joey. Also I did have to spend some time going through 182 layers to find the 3 layers that I needed to import. I t takes a while for the compute to interpolate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelNow2 Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 I tried it with the feet setting. Initially it looked like it worked properly, but when I went to draw the terrain street, the street was tiny. It was then that I remembered that I scaled up the dwg in the CAD file in order to try to get the correct scale in chief. So back I go into the original file sent by the Civil Engineer to scale everything back down again. Another Hour and a half wait to complete the interpolation. So I start the whole process again to make sure I get it right. Hooray! I finally got it right. Thank you all for you input and help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-CAD Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 resize it in autocad I used the scale at the bottom. It's drawn weird on purpose.....many of the called lengths are close but not precise. (to scale 1 to 1) Puckett Drive Siteplan.dwg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
