Importing files from other source to SAP2000
Importing files from other source to SAP2000
(OP)
SAP2000 Users: I just started to use this software and I am wondering about the possibility to import drawing files from other source, let’s say Autocad, into SAP2000





RE: Importing files from other source to SAP2000
1-adjust your units an coordinates on autocad
2-create layer for your lines.because when you export your shape on sap 2000 it will be important.
3-draw your shape only using line.
4-save your shape as a dxf file.
5-go to sap 2000 and file menu and go to import
6-you will see a list about what kind of drawing will import from autoced to sap 2000
answer all guestions and click ok.
you will see that all shape in autocad you can import in sap 2000.

RE: Importing files from other source to SAP2000
among SAP (I use VER 11) and AUTOCAD ( I use ver 2008) in what matters to 3d solid.
The entity the sap creates when exposting a solid element is recognized in dxf format in autocad as "polygon mesh".
This is an entity that is not possible (tought) to create in autocad....so....
I have a problem.
I need to build a cube, in granite, with a cylindrical hole to engange some kind of dowell....
Thanks for any help...
