Can't export to Glue

fernando.silveira.lima — Tue, 09 Oct 2018 05:43:55 GMT

I'm using CADmep 2019 and trying to export to Glue using Fabviewer, when I click export to glue it gives me an error saying it can't find the addin.

I do have the Glue addin on AutoCAD so I'm not sure what's the issue. I can export a 3D with the parameters I need but the model is glued rotated 90 degrees on the X axis.

Hello @fernando.silveira.lima

I hope you are doing well and making lots of progress on your project.

I wanted to check in and see if you had a chance to review my last forum post, or if you have any additional questions for me?

I did some more research into your issue and this is what I could come up with at this time.

It is possible that you are not following the recommended workflow to achieve your results, what you would need to do within Fabrication CADmep is to navigate to BIM 360 tab (below is a link on how to troubleshoot if you do not see this tab) look to far left and above Coordination you will see a Glue button, this is where you export your Fab file to Glue successfully.

BIM 360 Glue add-in

Hopefully this helps!
