With the Entity From Primitives command, you can convert your two-dimensional drawings , saved as dxf/dwg are converted into ideCAD objects. Drawings such as axisaxes, columncolumns, beambeams, wall and shearwall, drawn in walls and shearwalls must be drawn on their own layers, saved as dxf/dwg from the architecture, into ideCAD . Drawings on the selected layers are converted to objects.
In the conversion process, it is important that the outer borders of the drawings of elements such as columns and curtains are closed and the layer you choose is important. Drawings on the layers you selected are converted into objectsshearwalls must be closed.
