How to attach reference files

lukeEUA6F — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 18:04:48 GMT

Hey guys I am trying to open up a Playground design from the manufacture I work with in AutoCAD but I am not sure where to start.

https://www.kompan.com/en/int/p/pct110521

1. I downloaded the 3D .DWG and the 3D OBJ Package (which is zipped with 2 folders 01 & 02 two different color schemes i imagine)

2. I extracted 3D OBJ Package 01 folder containing MTL File, 3d Object, & JPGs

3. Open the .DWG file

4. Now I do not know how to attach the colors where they go and whatnot. Also not sure if the MTL File, 3d Object, & JPGs are what I even need. Please help Thanks

your guess is as good as mine...best to contact the manufacturer and ask them.

Only the other software vendor can answer your questions. Sorry @lukeEUA6F

If you want to see the colors change the visual style. Here is shaded with edges. Change it by clicking in the upper left of the screen.

Freaking awesome thank you. Then how do I populate the glass exc? Is that in the 3D OBJ Folder?

I don't think it's glass. Here is an image from their website:

They are acrylic panels.
