The new ReluxDesktop offers two different possibilities of importing CAD files (.dwg or.dxf)

1. The first option involves selecting the " Interior with plan" , or " Exterior with plan"  option in the "Start" menu of ReluxDesktop and to design a new scene using an imported CAD Plan. 

2. The second option is to import further CAD files into an existing scene.

In this article we will demonstrate to you how to create a new scene by importing a CAD-Plan.

Follow " Import" > "CAD-Plan".

 

Start menu  “CAD-Import”

In general the following applies: the new powerful CAD interface allows you to import any *.dwg or *.dxf file format data in a few steps. 

Click the option "Interior with plan"  and follow these steps:

Step 1: Enter project data

Step 2 (for interior projects only): Specify the type of interior project ( "Interior scenes"  >  "Floor" )

Step 3: Select a file (*.dwg or *.dxf)

Step 4: Set the scale (often 1000/m for interior and 1/m for exterior installations)

Step 5: Rotate the drawing (requires knowledge of drawing, otherwise continue)

Step 6: Set the origin (requires knowledge of drawing, otherwise continue)

Step 7: Capture the actual Relux scene

In Step 1, you can specify the type of interior project (Interior scenes/ Floor).
