The elements I created in the file I imported from AutoCAD are not displayed in the 3D window. Why?

The drawings made in AutoCAD may have been made far from the origin point.

  • Select all your drawings by pressing Ctrl + A on the keyboard while in perspective screen.

  • Enter the Move command. Click on a point of your drawing in the plan window to set the reference point.

  • Press the X key on the keyboard. The cursor will go to the X box in the coordinate box. Type the value 0 and press Enter. The number will be covered in red.

  • Press the Y key on the keyboard. The cursor will go to the Y box in the coordinate box. Type the value 0 and press Enter. The number will be covered in red. 

  • When you click the left mouse button, your drawing will be moved to the origin (0,0) point relative to the reference point.

  • Press the Home key on the keyboard .

  • The perspective camera (the image in its window) will come to the starting position of the program (the angle visible from the origin point).
