.DWG drawings to walls

[buildinthevoid]

Hi so I have a .dwg file that i'd like to convert from a drawing into solid walls and resize them to their accurate measurements. Is there a way to do this, or would I need to build it all up manually?

You can import the CAD into Chief and then use it as a template to draw over. Be sure to turn on object snap when you draw your walls.

There is also a feature called CAD to walls on Chief. I've never used it but this article from the knowledge base is worth a look. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00170/using-cad-to-walls-from-an-imported-dwg-dxf.html

Also be sure that whatever those angles, they be put into Plan Defaults.  Looks like you got some customs.  CAD detail from view will tell you.
