Hi red, There is no simple way to do what you're hoping to do, unfortunately. The closest would be if you want to invest money and time into either archicad or vectorworks - both of which do the full 3D/2D thing very well (although for preliminary design studies etc, forget it...). I have tried to u...

Red - The easiest way I've found bring drawings from SU to HD is the following: set your camera in SU to PARALLEL PROJECTION, choose your view then do an EXPORT > 2D GRAPHIC and choose dwg or dxf. As far as the import process goes, you just open your dwg/dxf with HD and when asked, set scale to 1:1 ...

Hi Red,

I rec'd your email and will send you a more complete answer later, but in the meantime I can tell you that yes, we use SU extensively for concept development and HD for all our working drawings. I go back and forth extensively and find that they do compliment each other.

BTW - is there a list of new features somewhere so we know what to look for?

I have a problem which isn't directly related to HD, but am hoping someone here might be able to offer some help. We need to have our projects printed by commercial printers more and more often it seems. The best way to do this is to send them pdfs. However when I create pdfs from HD using the inter...

This would definitely be an appreciated addition.

Did you see my response to your original question in the support area?

Did that not do what you are after?

There's no way that I know of to lock a specific object. However, you can lock layers so the simplest option would be to put all the objects that you want locked onto one layer and then lock it. To lock a layer all you need to do is click on the padlock symbol in the layers list. Hope that helps. ch...

NOW THAT WE CAN TRIM CIRCLES AND ARCS IS IT ALSO POSSIBLE TO BREAK OR SPLIT THEM? I CAN'T BUT AM WONDERING IF IT JUST A BUG OR IF THIS IS A FUNCTIONALITY THAT IS COMING?

(Sorry about the caps...)

Is anyone else finding that extending a wall to another wall breaks many of the adjacent wall connections? I'm finding this is happening A LOT for me. I'm curious to know if it just my HD or if others are experiencing it?

which can be worked with - ie trimmed, offset (properly) and extended to.

Polylines MUST be able to include curves/arcs.
