HELP! I am trying to use a .dxf file from an architectural firm here in the area to create a .3ds mesh file for use w/3D Studio. The .dxf is from Release 12 and was done with all walls, etc. extruded from a plane. Problem is, I am going not-so-slowly nuts trying to separate objects for use with different materials/surfaces. And I'm not having any success. Any suggestions? Please? Jim Kratzer

Have you tried importing the file by entity? That should give you discreet objects for each entity/wall within the file. – G
