Importing 2D Model Files

You can import 2D model files directly into the active Modeler window.

Note: If you import a file into an active Modeler window that contains an existing model, the file is added to the existing model; it will not replace it.

If you want to import a model in a specific orientation other than the current XY or XZ plane, you must first create a relative coordinate system with the planes in the desired orientation. See Creating a Relative Coordinate System for more information.

To import a 2D model file:

  1. Click Modeler > Import.

    2. The Import File dialog box appears.

  2. Select a file type from the Files of type drop-down menu.
  3. Use the file browser to find and select the file you want to import.
  4. Click Open.
    The file is imported into the active Modeler window.
