Question

Is it possible to import CAD drawings to RFEM and to convert the drawing into an RFEM model?


Answer:

It is possible to import DXF files from AutoCAD, for example.

The lines of a DXF file are also generated as lines in RFEM. Thus, the geometry can be created completely by the import. You can then use the imported lines for modeling as surface boundaries or member axes.

There is also the option of direct import. The descriptions of the interfaces with Tekla Structures and Autodesk AutoCAD Revit are available in the manuals under the interfaces. A list of the supported interfaces/program versions is given for each version in the update reports. For this, it is always necessary to check the update report of the first version (for example, RFEM 5‑20‑01 ).

A detailed overview of the interfaces and the BIM-oriented planning is available on our website Building Information Modeling (BIM).

Also, there are numerous webinars about BIM that you can watch as videos on our website.
