  • Controller: to import the file directly from a connected controller.

• Select the import parameters:

  • Import as 2D drawing: toggles the import of data without elevation. All items will be imported with the quota equal to 0.

  • Import 3D Mesh as: selects how 3D meshes are imported in the project.

    • Drawing mesh: 3D meshes in the imported file are imported as drawing meshes.

    • Surface: : 3D meshes in the imported file are imported as surface.

  • Import 3D faces as: selects how 3D faces are imported in the project.

    • Drawing mesh: 3D faces in the imported file are imported as drawing meshes.

    • Surface: : 3D faces in the imported file are imported as surface.

    • Polyline: 3D faces in the imported file are imported as closed polylines.

  • Distance unit of the selected drawing: allows you to set the drawing units used in the AutoCAD file. The drawing will be imported into the project unit of measure.

• Click Next.

  

  • Convert points: enables/disables conversion of the AutoCAD point entity in the file to topographic points.

  • Convert blocks: enables/disables the conversion of blocks in the AutoCAD file to topographic points.

  • Insert topographic points on element main positions: toggles the automatic insertion of topographic points at the vertices of the imported drawing elements.

  • Search point name on nearest texts: allows to search the name to assign to the topographic point to the nearest text to the point entity.

  • Search point elevation on nearest texts: allows to search the elevation to assign to the topographic point to the nearest text to the point entity.

  • Starting name: allows you to set the name of the first point created by one of the previous options. The following points will have a progressive name (100,101,102, etc.).
