Lower the "Subdivs" value associated with the "Cylinder" options on the "Selective Loading" panel.This will preventĪny end-caps from being created for the pipes. Disable the "Circles & Ellipses" checkbox on the "Selective Loading" panel.If you wish to reduce the polygon count further then we suggest the following changes to the import The geometry found in these DWF files are often composed of a collection of procedural cylinders, proceduralĭiscs (for the end caps on the pipes) and meshed polygonal geometry for the bends & elbows.Īlso, you will most often find that using the Okino DWF pipeline will provide significantlyįewer polygons (2 to 10 times, based on real world examples) than by using the FBX file format out "3D piping", such as oil & gas plants or 3D manufacturing plants from Navisworks and other PDMS programs. Optimizing the Import of 'Piping Models' from Programs such as NavisworksĪs a specialization of this DWF importer, it has been highly refined for importing huge models of OkinoĪlso actively supports DXF and DWG import +Įxport up to the newest file format versions. Recommend our native and direct CAD importer. Import of ultra-massive oil & gas platforms, oil refineries, LNG platforms and 3D plants - refer to the case studies section). Such as AutoCAD, Revit and Navisworks, as well as for AVEVA PDMS+Marine products (the Okino DWF importer has been particularly optimized and written to handle the
On theįlip side the older DWG/DXF file formats are much more crude, reflecting their originalĪs such, we highly recommend using DWF-3D to convert data coming from Autodesk products Of geometry types, materials, textures, cameras, lights, rendering attributes and more. DWF-3D allows for complete and clean 3D scene conversion, including a plethora DWF-3D is a much more modern file format for use inĭata translation compared to the early 1980's conceived native DWG/DXF formats of AutodeskĬAD products. Such as AutoCAD, Inventor, Navisworks and Revit.
#ONLINE DWF TO DWG CONVERTER SOFTWARE#
Important background information, most Autodesk CAD software now implements very good 3D DWF export in products Having beenĪutodesk partners and developers since 1992, we realized that one of the most importantįile formats to implement properly and intelligently would be the "new" DWF-3D format. "apples and oranges" when it comes to differentiating one conversion system from another.įor such reasons, we will make clear that this is one of the most extensively developedĭWF-3D import conversion systems. To most people 3D conversion software all looks alike and it is difficult to compare Please also refer to the corresponding Okino DWF-3D export converter. Do not use the FBX file format when coming inįrom these programs as you'll get much better, faster and more accurate results with the DWF-3D conversion pipeline.
You will always want to use DWF-3D and this importer when coming in fromĪutoCAD, Navisworks (NWD, NWC), Revit (RVT), AVEVA PDMS & Marine, and optionally Autodesk Inventor (IAM, IPT). It is one of the most important, extensively written, problem-solving CAD importers
This import converter reads in files encoded in the Autodesk DWF (3D) file format and Importing DWF + DWFx Files and General Overview Specifically designed for sourcing very large & complex 3D datasets from AutoCAD, Navisworks, Revit, Inventor, AVEVA PDMS & AVEVA Marine Okino's DWF-3D (and HSF) 3D File Importer You are here: Home » Import CAD Formats » AutoCAD-Revit-Navisworks (DWF-3D)
