attribut -> coordinate

Hello,

I have received a dwg file (using LT2005), in which Z coordinate of
objects are not in the coordinate but in the attribute.
Therefore, the object isn't placed on the proper z coordinate, but at 0.
Anyone know how to fill the z coordinate of each object with the value
displayed in the attribute elevation field?

Thanks a lot

Damien

 

guess no one knows how to...

 

You did not say what version of acad you have, but I have used the
attribute extraction tool in 2005 to create a text file of points with
x,y and z co-ords written as northing, easting & elevation. I do not
know if this works for lines as well as points, and I am a Terramodel
expert, not acad.

After getting my text file I import this into Tm and create the 3D
objects that I need there, like surfaces etc.


Happy Trails To You

 

*Hello

I am using autocad 2005LT.
The dwg file I received is having attributes informations, and, the what
I am interrested in is the elevation.
The drawing is only the surface of the roof of buildings (a whole town),
and I want to import that in max7, so that I only have then to extrude
the surface -50m in z, let's say, so that the volumes go under the
ground, and that would be just good enough for mains of the buildings.
Some I have to texture, therefore I would have to lower them right to
the surface, but this is another story and no problem here.
Thanks for any comments on how to, but I will check this extration tool,
hoping it is included in LT.
