imported DXF Architectural plans for modeling cabinets in HDP?

Hello All, 

New HDPro 2025 user, using for interior fit ups/cabinet sales.  Architect was kind enough to send me DXF files of floor plans, but when I imported them, they were loaded with layers, so I tried again with a more limited layer import selection..so-so on the result.  So, has anyone else had success with this concept of using an Architects existing CAD as a footprint to "build" a design scheme off of?

 

Any advice appreciated.

Why DXF and not DWG ? (Curiously I ask)

I have used DWG files for the sort of base map or plan reference in HDPro for all sorts of modeling.

2D 'dumb' info as a vector plan can be tedious but eventually works ok if you have the patience for attention to placement detail of HDPro 3D BIM objects like cpbds etc..

If we could lock a plan layer in place to retain its position whilst working - this would be great.

Like Mr Potter comments - better in CA Premier. (which I don't have)

Better point to point mouse functions and object snap in CA also.

Cheers.

Hello and thanks, I had higher expectations for the integration of DXF.  As it turns out a dumb DWG would be just as good as a floorplan template,  However the DXF drawing did come in scaled properly.
