There are other third party applications as well that support reaching DWG files. There are free viewers available for viewing DWG files on Windows Operating System such as the Autodesk’s free DWG TrueView. It contains vector image and metadata for representation of contents of CAD files. Like DXF, which are ASCII files, DWG represent the binary file format for CAD (Computer Aided Design) drawings. Anyhow thats probably how I would do it.Files with DWG extension represent proprietary binary files used for containing 2D and 3D design data.

lol Basically a window would be a component of the building and a piece of the frame would be a part to the component and you would look up that part from a library of window frame parts as a funtion in the OTL straight from the hard drive. I am not explaining this well but it makes alot of sense in my head. The smart thing would be to build components of the building in parts that would be OTLs that would read in base parts objects as a library type function system that would allow you quickly and rapidly prototype a building and build new parts of the components of the building to add to the library. I have already thought of this to some extent but I don't know again how involved this would be. The best solution I agree would to be to have a DWG import plugin into houdini that even does some of the building for you in an auto modeling system. I have not seen this happen correctly yet with DXF plus I tend to see alot of errors in DXF format. In tempi di crisi ci vuole maggior creatività. Il software CAD gratuito M4 PERSONAL può essere utilizzato per modificare file in formato DXF/DWG e per creare modelli 3D da disegni 2D. The things I would really want to see with an import of a CAD file is the units and elivations preserved and for all of the curves to be NURBS when the import is done. Con un software CAD gratuito, i file DWG o DXF possono essere aperti, visualizzati, modificati e se necessario, convertirli in un modello 3D. I would just have to learn HDK which probably would not be too bad for me considering I already know Maya's SDK. Actually I am a C++ Guru but I don't know how much time I would have to code that plugin and how involved it would get. Quite frankly I lose alot of information in the. Hey, Correct me if I am wrong but DXF is not a format that supports NURBS.
