f700es Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Have you pushed/pulled the 2D into 3D? Are you trying to paint 2D faces. Can you share a picture of the issues you are having? Hard to tell from your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f700es Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Looks like your faces are not filled in. SU has issues with this on DWGs from time to time. You can at times redraw a line and it will fill in. There is a RUBY script that can help IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboy413 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 yeah but sometimes times it fills in areas that i don't want filled in. Not familiar with RUBY scripts, what are those?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Add-ons like LISP routines for Acad. There is one already there.. Tools - Utilities - Create Face. See if it is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboy413 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 there is no option for utilities under "tools" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Ok, I must have added that one. You can probably retrace over a single line and the face should fill in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboy413 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 ok cool, i just watched a video on ruby scripts and tried to download "make faces" and it won't let me install??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 You should be able to copy the contents to the plugins folder, weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboy413 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 yeah i know it should be that easy, but for some reason it doesn't like me at all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
