Reading 12da into 12d Model

Data to create a tin (sometimes called a mesh, or a triangulation) can come from a variety of sources: 12d ascii (from 12d Model) Simple list of coordinates and elevations (x,y,z format) AutoCAD .dxf or .dwg GENIO format (from MOSS or MX) CivilCAD (.as5) Microstation .dgn For this instance, we will read in 12d ascii [...]

Input ArcView SHP files

This option is for the input of GIS ArcView SHP (shape files) into 12d Model Software. The video below demonstrates and describes the various options you are able to utilise when reading Shape (SHP) file data into 12d Model Software. Additional tools are then demonstrated to better utilize the information for either Survey or Design [...]

Input DWG/DXF data

Importing DWG/DXF Files into 12d Model The DWG/DXF Input Panel in 12d Model is designed to support the import of linework, symbols, strings, and triangulated face data from external CAD files. This is particularly useful when incorporating third-party data into your project, such as detail surveys or pre-built triangulations. Accessing the Panel To import DWG, [...]

Input DWF file

The DWF file is a "digital plot" file. Similar to a digitize/vectorize/scan of a paper drawing, you can also convert/recover DWF files back to DWG (using third party utilities) - but in both cases you may lose substantial amounts of information, structure and precision of the original drawing. Both DWF/DWFx and PDF were meant [...]

Input FBX file

This option is used to read FBX files to create a Trimesh of the 3d object contained in the file. FBX (Filmbox) is a proprietary format developed by Kaydara and owned by AutoDesk since 2006, to provide interoperability between digital content creation applications. Whilst 12d Model is able to read FBX data into a project. [...]

Input OBJ file

This option is used to read OBJ files to create a Trimesh of the 3d object contained in the file. OBJ files primarily store 3D geometry data and can also contain UV coordinates and simple material properties. Note: The data read into 12d Model should still be checked for size, position and rotation. To view [...]

Input Point Cloud data

Options for the loading or referencing of various Point Cloud files into 12d Model are also provide under the Main menu; BIM > Point Clouds This section of 12d Model also contains additional "Point Cloud" tools, please click on the link to be redirected to more information. Import LAZ files
