Broken DXF and DWG Lines

Sometimes the DXF or DWG file that you import into ICE will have broken lines. After you use Center Wall or Instawall, you may end up with DIRTT walls that do not connect or snap together. In these cases, you may need to extend the walls that you created with Center Wall or Instawall.

 

To Extend a DIRTT Wall:

1.Click the cross hairs near the end of the wall, and drag the wall.

 

Base Plan Incomplete

When you import a DWG/DXF base plan into ICE, they base plan may not show everything. A base plan is usually incomplete for one of the following reasons:

 

•If a AutoCAD layer is frozen or turned off, the items on that layer may not import into ICE.

•If the missing items are too small to be seen, they do not appear in ICE.

 

To Check for Frozen or Turned off Layers

1.Open the DWG and DXF base plan in AutoCAD.

 

2.Look at the AutoCAD layers to confirm that the missing items not on a layer that is frozen or turned off.

 

To Locate Missing Items

1.In ICE, zoom into the area where the items are missing to see if you can locate them.

 

2.In AutoCAD, look at the size of the missing items in the DXF/DWG base plan.
