Hey guys got another problem....

 

I was told to get a program called Pepakura for unfolding 3D models.

I have created to basic model in ACAD and saved it a a .DXF file. However when i try to improt into Peparuka it prompts me with this error...

 

"0 vertice(s), 0 face(s) and 1 object(s) were deleted for data normalisation"

click ok

"Failed to open file"

 

I am only using the limited shareware of Pepakura, does this message come up because i need to pay for a password?

 

or am i doing something wrong...?

 

Cheers

anyone used Pepakura before...?

I think it failed because you created your object as a solid.

Try a release 12 DXF.

 

If that doesn't work, try exploding it first so that it's a series of faces.

[Zoobz]

yeah i did creat it as a solid...lol whoops ill try exploding

[Zoobz]

ok i exploded the model to create faces, saved it as 2007dxf, but pepakura still prompts me with the same error

[Zoobz]

all good guys i worked it out...thanks to all of you:D:D:D:D

[Zoobz]

no wait....:x:x:x it still wont open it,

 

now i have my image in autocad imported to solidworks but cant save it as an .stl

[Zoobz]

Try a release 12 DXF.

 

If that doesn't work, try exploding it first so that it's a series of faces.

 

ok i tried R12 version and exploding but keeps coming up with the same error

Try this software, work for me for years and is not expensive and got trial with almost everything working.

ok i tried R12 version and exploding but keeps coming up with the same error

 

You're talking about pepakura, right? you mentioned solidworks now and I'm not sure where you're sending the DXF to now.

 

Perhaps you don't need to explode the solid if you're using the R12 dxf in pepakura? Or did you try the R12 both ways?

 

Does the pepkura help documentation mention anything about it?

We got the .stl problem figured out in THIS thread, so Solidworks is not a part of the equation anymore.

 

Zoobz, it would be best if you contain your questions within one thread, rather than spreading them out over several threads. As you can see, doing this causes confusion.

[Zoobz]

sorry guys, but yeah the problem is sorted....thank for all your help guys:D:D:D

[MikeScott]

I'm glad you got it worked out, but what was the fix? Did you give up on pepakura?

[omelet]

i have same problem too, i already explode, convert to surface but it still not working to open dxf file to pepakura design

is dxf file from autocad can't open in pepakura?
