Stuart Patience Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Hi Is it possible that I can import a CAD drawing in PDF format to trace the roof it is scaled 1:50. Will save me measuring and drawing as the roof is really complicated. Thanks Quote
developer_mh Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Hi Stuart, yes, it is possible, but you would have to convert the pdf to an image before that. Jpg, bmp and png are accepted in the map section in 3D, use the option "Load from Hard Drive": Kind regards, Martin Quote
Stuart Patience Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Posted March 9, 2018 ok thanks Martin for quick reply. Will this create a 3D building then? Quote
developer_mh Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Hi Stuart, you will have to draw outline of the building yourself and then you can extrude it. There is also a small youtube tutorial: Kind regards, Martin Quote
Spen86 Posted April 22 Report Posted April 22 If importing an image from a PDF drawing of a building plan, how do you ensure it is to the scale as outlined on the drawing? Quote

There must be a scale on your drawing. You could adapt the scale at import to match the scale within PV*SOL. Kind regards Frederik Quote
