nicolas Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hi, I have been looking for 3 Nos. 3D Kitchen Blocks namely a single bowl sink with tap, a regular oven and a fridge in Autocad format and amazingly I found none of them. Each time the dxf and dwg format is made entirely of nested anonymous blocks containing polymesh that just can't be smoothed without being completely deformed and converted to solid. I run into countless problems such as intersect, not valid object and so on and such lisps. Can anybody help by pointing me to a side with true Autocad 3D blocks? Thanks.

ReMark Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Where did you "find" these less-than-useful blocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolas Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hi. Those blocks are not less-than-useful. I do believe they fulfill their purpose in 3D Package like 3DS Max or Revit or Sketchup and users of those software does look highly to them. The problem has do to with their conversion into AutoCAD especially when the user like myself does not work with surface or mesh. It would be great to have a list of site that does provide blocks that has be easily used in Autocad like addition and removing materials, modified and rendered.

ReMark Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Maybe my question wasn't clear enough for you. I'll rephrase it. Where did you get these blocks? Did you look over at BiblioCAD or over at the CADforum? Did you try going through AutoDesk Seek? Have you tried creating your own "true" AutoCAD 3D blocks? There are programs like AutoMesher and Mesh-To-Solid by Sycode that claim to be able to convert a mesh to a solid. Check them out. Maybe there is a trial version you can test. If you do this sort of thing often enough and one of these programs actually does what it claims the investment might be well worth it.
