Importing A 3D DWG

[MadeleineD]

Hi experts!

 

I am trying to get a 3D .dwg imported into Chief X16 to be able to hopefully trace it or (even better) manipulate it without tracing. The .dwg is coming from Twindo. We scan and get the file from them in the Vectorworks file format but we also a get a 3D .dwg as part of the file package. Our architects work in Vectorworks, but I work in Chief Architect as the Kitchen & Bath designer. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to import the .dwg and have it be even remotely usable or even traceable. The only way I've found is to import it as a 3D symbol and convert it to a CAD block. This gives me a basically useless plan view, but when I go into the camera view the full 3D model is there. It is just one big unusable blob... Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do? Any recommendations? I added the .dwg file below. The plan file with it imported is too large to share here. I just opened a fresh plan, imported it as a 3D symbol, selected "Geometric Shapes" and "CAD Block", and then selected "Generate Block" under the 2D Symbol CAD Block Options when the advanced dialogue box opened. 

 

I'd be happy to clarify anything if need be!

You would have to draw the building according to the 3d model file. Its not component based, it can't be manipulated inside of chief. It can be manipulated inside of blender or sketchup though I would argue its not worth your time. 
I have made several videos about best practices for 3rd party point cloud generated tri-poly models which is what you are attempting to do.
You could alternatively pay twindo to convert it to chief architect for you though their finished product leaves a lot to be desired
Some of the videos I've done on this are behind a paywall but they are relevant so I will leave them here
