Problem importing fbx. file as a block

[Anonymous]

I have a problem i can import fbx file as a mesh but when i try to import it as a block the object doesn't show up. I'm using AutoCad 2017. I have added the fbx. file in post

Hi,

it looks like you are using drag & drop to insert the fbx-file, that does not work.

Instead please start command _IMPORT, in the dialog select *.fbx as filetype, then select your file.

Hello thanks for the reply but i have tried using your method and it still doesn't work.

Use Insert, Block, select the name of the imported block.

"does not work" means what?

What did you start, what did you get as response?

I had no issue getting your file imported (find attached)

Hi,

you have 3 options to answer the dialog you showed in your screenshot, which one have you tried (and which one not)?

oh sorry i don't know what i was thinking and yes i have tried all 3 but it doesn't work. Everytime I pick one of the options convert selected objects to 3d solids computer just freezes and if i wait and open task manager i can see that computer is doing some work because it uses all the ram and after a few minutes the object just returns to it' original state.

Hi,

this object has about 250.000 edges, to convert that from a mesh to a solid or to a surface is not a thing of 2 seconds.

What for do you really need that object, what is the final goal?

I need object because i want to do some 3d editing on the object and i am making a replica of this chait for my school project and i need to make blueprints in layouts in order to make the project.

Hi,

>> i want to do some 3d editing on the object 

I would not see AutoCAD as the best package for editing such a geometry, even other products will have issues as these are not editable geometry parts (like splines based extrusions or something like that).

The preferred method (my opinion) to create a new objects based on that would be to have that object like a background info and to start a new construction (using object snaps, to have a relation to the size).
