Question:
How can I insert a DXF file as a background layer in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9?
Answer:
RFEM and RSTAB provide the option to import DXF files as background layers. You can then use them as guide objects and thus achieve fast and efficient modeling.
The easiest way to import a DXF file as a background layer is to use the Data navigator. To insert a new background layer, select "Guide Objects" → right-click "Background Layers" → "New Background Layer..." A dialog box appears where you can select the DXF file from the user-defined files.
Furthermore, it is possible to move the background layer in the model area, rotate it, and scale it in all three spatial axes. Moreover, the background layers can be set to active or inactive, as required.
