    Wireframe Building Walls in Factory Design

    I made the building walls and features in Autocad Architecture and brought it into Inventor Factory as an overlay on the new layout.  The walls appear only as wireframe regardless of visibilty settings. Also, I can not select any features of the building. All assets I am putting into the layout are referenced in the real building from the column lines. Not being able to measure or move assets to the center of a column is a real hinderance.

     

    Is there a way to make solid walls and be able to use the building features just as any other asset?

    Hi there,

    The ACA building walls in Inventor as an overlay, these are client graphics.

    If you want to use them as other asset, you need to do the followings:

    1)     Convert AEC objects to 3D solid through CONVERTTO3DSOLIDS command in ACA

    2)     Click Get Started Tab>-Create Asset>-Import DWG Solids in Inventor factory

     

    Thanks
