• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi,

I got some 3D buildings from my town and I want to take them into blender. The files are in .gml or .dwg format. I already tried to convert them via ODA File Converter to .DXF to import them but that doesnt work.

Blender shows the following error message. Anyone have an idea how to take them into Blender?

Are you sure they are really 3D? These formats can also be used to just store the footprints.

Gml is not typically supported by 3D programs, so the dwg to dxf route sounds best indeed.

I am really sure they are. Looked them up in another viewer. Any idea why they arent in Blender with the dxf files?

The error seems to be about a face that already exists. But I'm not familiar with the details of the blender importer.

What I could do is try to load the file into MCX and see if that works. Can you share the file with me for testing?

Hi,

I had a look at the file you send the link to. I used another online converter to go from dwg to dxf, but after enabling the dxf support in the library I use in MCX to read objects I'm able to see the objects. From MCX you can then export in a format that Blender supports, e.g. Wavefront OBJ, FBX, etc.

I will add the DXF support in the next development release of MCX.
