Drawing plan in X15 but use X12 to view 3D

My computer isn’t big enough to view 3D images in X15 so I downloaded X12. Question is can I draw my saved plan views in X15 but use X12 for my 3D views. X15 has more options than X12 that’s why I’m asking. Thanks for any feedback.

Short answer is no.  Perhaps post your computer specifications for more potential options or bite the bullet and get a new one.

The only workaround I can think of within chief is to export as .3ds or .dae and render that way.

You can't go backwards.  If you can't fully use X15 on your computer, then it is basically useless.  If your computer does not meet the min sys requirements, then you need to upgrade it.  If it does but X15 is not working, then I would call tech support for more help.

There is a plausible answer per Chopsaw. 

 

  • Export the X15 plan file in a perspective overview as a 3DS model. 
  • Save to desktop. 
  • Import the 3d model into X12. It will render. 

 

One can also take camera views in any format... line drawing, clay model, and whatever.

 

The module behaves just like an actual plan file except that it's frozen, meaning no way to adjust.
