Jeff, If all your Acad work is in 2D, then you want to dxf the 2D info out of Acad; the wall lines, for instance, then load dxf into the 2D Shaper. Next, go to the 3D Lofter, set a path length to the wall height and Shapes/Get/Shaper. Object/Make with the name wall01 and your finished wall appears in the 3D Editor. A better way would be to create the 3D in Acad by changing the Thickness of the wall lines to the wall height in Acad, put the wall lines on a layer named wall.Then dxf the info out. Go into the 3D Editor and do File/Load, pick dxf and import the walls, using the by layer option, directly into the 3D Editor. Good luck TedB !^NavFont01F0006MGHHIKAD97
