suncasin Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I draw a 3d model in map3d 2009. It contains about 600 solids (pipes, walls, roofs, ...), some of them was draw with the 30-day free licence program pipefit pro. Now, when I open the drawing, at the start (before acad sets full up) it looks ok, after acad sets full up the drawing is a total mess. It looks like that all solid are concentrated with their center of balance in one point. The thumbnail looks ok, but when I open it, like I said... a mess. The file is to big to send. Any advice?

ReMark Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 The solids that are "messed up" are the ones drawn with Pipefit Pro? Quote
JD Mather Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 The thumbnail looks ok, .... Thumbnail is meaningless - simply a screen capture taken at some save point. It does not accurately reflect geometry within the file. This frustrates a lot of people when it looks good in the picture but then doesn't open looking like the pretty picture. Quote
marmo Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Hi, I think there are two possibilities: 1 - solids during the conversion have moved to a point ... unlikely if not impossible. 2 - During the conversion there was a problem of scale: it may be that their relative distance is a scale much smaller than their size, and thus seem concentrated at a point. Objects that are concentrated are solid or other entities, such surface grouped in blocks? Regards Quote
suncasin Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) All solids are "messed up". I didn't group any solids. Still don't now whats going on. When I open the drawing in DWG TrueView all looks ok, but in Acad, like I said a total (concentrated) mess... Edited October 14, 2010 by suncasin Quote
ReMark Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Have you tried scaling the messed up objects independent of the structure? Quote
marmo Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 It 's very partridge, I have never seen such a conversion problem. Maybe there's a black hole in the DWG file ... How heavy is the file? Quote
fahim108 Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 ...Maybe there's a black hole in the DWG file ... lolz! ...that's exactly what it looks like. Somehow, everything has a position coordinate of 0,0,0 (centered to the origin). Strange... Quote
suncasin Posted October 20, 2010 Author Posted October 20, 2010 Uf, I found a older version that works, so always make a copy when you experiment (that works!). Thanks anyway! If there's any candidate who has the time and will, I can send the file (2MB) to e-mail. Thanks again! Quote
