Excellent, have tried this and saved me so much time, best result you need a cleanly created DWG or DXF file.

This all depends on how well the DWG is made. We've tried to use this for years but often in order for it to work this easily the DWG had be to perfectly closed. We found if this was not always the case and it was often quicker just to trace over the DWG. Also the DWGs would have much more unneeded crap which would have to be turned off or deleted before being brought into SU. We could save a lot of time just by bringing it all in and tracing over just what was needed. It's nice to think outside the box, but it's also great to know how to just "get it done" when that doesn't work.

I totally agree. Getting a usable file is the first challenge. Assuming you can do that... then you can use this tip. It would have made for a boring video to just talk about how difficult it can be to get a well put together cad file from some people ;-)

I have learned to check the lines in ACAD before importing. Use PLINE command and close, join, etc.

What happens is the DWG is not all on the Z axis at absolute zero, I believe you can get all the DWG lines at zero with a plugin.

dwg soooooo much better as it is a vector image with points you can snap to. Jpeg is raster comprised of thousands of dots. You can trace a jpeg but are now inputting length data. Much slower.

I'm curious... why is the wall color inverted? (shouldn't be white... for a better viewing/contrast?) :) Just asking.

I’ve been using this method for years, however it doesn’t always work out well and it misses some lines usually, hopes there’s a more accurate way to do it.

use FLATTEN command. You can also move a z points to '0' in PROPERTIES box.
