I was wondering if anyone is able to help me out in creating a mesh out of the attached drawing. At the moment it is just a spline rotated to the Z axis.
Some background - I am trying to create an RPC mesh to use as an outline for new RPC Planting I have made myself. [Current default rectangular looks bollocks in 3D view!!]
The only documentation I have found as to how to do this is using 3DS Max, saving as an editable mesh and then exporting this as a .DXF file (AutoCAD file). I am hoping there is a way to make this work JUST in AutoCAD (no 3rd party involvement), as I do not have access to 3DS Max. The post re: this method is found here: http://blog.archvision.com/2011/11/0...-rpc-creation/
I have tried saving this file as a .DXF through AutoCAD, then using that it the RPC Creator, however it does not seem to work. I THINK I need to make the spline into a mesh, but i'm buggered if I know how to! I have never used AutoCAD 3D (although I have used AutoCAD 2D for close to 10years).
I have had to attached a dwg as the dxf is not a supported file type here.
Please, can someone help me, I'm going out of my mind!
