    Question Some ACAD objects come in as Wireframe instead of solid

    When I open and/or merge and/or append some ACAD files in Navisworks some of the objects come in as wire frame while others come in as solids. Why does this happen and what can I do to correct it.

    You are missing some object enablers. You can see what object enablers are missing by viewing the scene statistics.

    Check to make sure you have the right object enablers loaded on you computer.
    You can check the Autodesk website for all the enablers you will need.
