From DWG to SAT ... with a strange result

[mirko.saiani]

Hello!

I have a DWG with solid

I need to convert in .sat to use in Inventor

This is the result of convertion:

Now I want to a family in Revit ... but doesn't work!

What is the problem??

thanks!!!!

How are these solids created?

Are there any splines involved? 

What happens when you try different format (igs, step)?

Can you share the model?

autocad plant 3d or autocad 

I tried to convert with only solids

igs/iges no result

Can you share the model? yes privated?

Before you spend much time on this:

This is a complex geometry to convert to a Revit file.

Revit doesn't have the capability to accept such a detailed geometry... and even if you can convert this file to a Revit format, the file will be too big to use in a Revit project. The time you import the family file on a Revit project, Revit will become too heavy to handle and it will start to hang. The final Family file must have less than 10Mb (more or less).

I suggest you simplify the geometry first, Inventor has SIMPLIFY tool to do that, or simply create a substitute with the significant sizes (kind of a bounding box to represent all the system).

But... if you want to try it, you should consider this:

1. Have you tried to import the 3D dwg in inventor directly? (import, not open).
2. Have you tried to convert the 3D dwg to STEP format, instead of SAT?

So I did try.

Export from your file fails, there is something wrong with it.

I have copied everything (Ctrl + C) (Ctrl + V) in to fresh AutoCAD file and export from there worked fine.

Try on your end.

Hi CCa!

ok but the problem is from dwg to sat.

after I can simplify the file like you say with inventor!!

with autocad I can't to export in step ...

[Cris-Ideas]

I have exported to sat. from AutoCAD and imported to AI.

sureeeeeee??
I try!

You can export to step with AUTOCAD MECHANICAL.

Why the conversion to ACIS (*.sat)?

Can you Attach your *.dwg file here?

NICE!

it's worked  perfectly!

thanks! thanks!
