I am having trouble importing a DC 3d model into sketchup after exporting to any of the 3 file types; dxf, dwg, & sketchup.
None of the smart walls and windows are there only elements built with slabs or AEC model.
Also having trouble getting glass in smart windows to render as opaque in DC viewer.
Thanks,
Stuart

Try making a dxf folder. Then save all your layers as a dxf file to that folder. Make sure move drawing to origin, a check box in
preferences. one layer at a time as dxf file. Then import them one at a time into sketchup. As for the windows, erase the first
face of the glass then paint with translucent. Hope this helps.

I think you have to use the Tools, Extract 2D/3D to get the smart walls and such down to 3D primitives that will translate properly.

Edit: You can set these option in the Program Prefs, DXF\DWG tab at the bottom.
