This video shows the import of a DXF file. The description of the layers contains the profile and the material name. RFEM uses the information during the import to convert the lines into members.
Importing DXF Lines as Members
Using the direct interface of RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 with BricsCAD, you can import and export nodes and lines.
Using the SDNF interface, you can import and export data such as materials, cross-sections, members, and surfaces in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9. It allows you to exchange the file-based data with programs such as Tekla Structures or Advance Steel.
The DXF II interface is based on a different technology than the DXF interface. It provides additional features, such as the export of deformed meshes, the export of dimension lines, and so on.
In addition to JavaScript, the Python functions are also available in the console. Using the Python option, the console also provides you with the Python functions in the object properties dialog box for in-app scripting.
