Meticulous Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 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.

DavidJPotter Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Yes, easier to do in Chief Premier but with greater difficulty in HD Pro. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meticulous Posted October 22 Author Share Posted October 22 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
