I created a drawing using 3D smart walls w/ Zbase at 0 and Zht at 8'. I exported it to Sketch-up but when opened in Sketch-up the only thing that showed up in 3D were the symbols used. The 3D wsmart walls were flat?

What is up?

In DataCAD you have to explode the smart elements into regular 3D elements -> "Tools / Extract 2D/3D" pulldown menu.

By Default Auto Extract 2D is True and 3D is False. You can set both of them to True in your Dcadwin.ini

[General]
Auto Extract 2D=TRUE
Auto Extract 3D=TRUE

This setting applies to
1. Save As DataCAD 11
2. DXF/DWG Export
3. Creating new symbols when selecting smart entities.

Hi Devinder,

Would be any possibility to add an internal toggle for this choice, connected with each one of this features, separately, since both are not tied among themselves ?

DCAD.INI edition is not particularly handy and can lead to some undesired misfunctions.

May be a "by pass" option when each one of this three features is demanded.

Thanks,
Miguel
