CAD Import, Upper Levels

This version extends the ability to import a Windows metafile exported from CAD software to the upper levels of the structure. Previously only the first level footprint could be imported.

CAD Import Wizard

The Wizard has been expanded to be a CAD Import Input View, similar to the other input views, that controls the file input for each level. It also continues operate as a wizard that guides you through the positioning and scaling process.

Drawings Required

If you choose not to import a metafile for a particular level, the metafile for the floor below will be shown. The first level file is required.

Scaling Factors

You can choose to bypass the scaling operation for any level but the ground level by specifying that any upper floor metafile has the same scaling factor as the level below.

Display

Once the input, positioning, and scaling process is complete, the metafiles for a particular floor will be visible in any other action of Plan View, when you press the CAD Import button.
