DWG with Architectural Desktop (ADT): Why can I see my ADT entities in form•Z, or how can I import ADT entities?
ADT entities are proprietary and cannot be imported into other programs unless they are exploded first. To do this, open the file in ADT and switch to a 3D view. From the Desktop menu, select Utilities –> Explode AEC Objects. Check all checkboxes, including Explode to Anonymous Block. (Shorten names is optional.) Now all ADT objects should be 3D solids and can be exported to form•Z. Use the WBlock command to create a new DWG file. Import this WBlock into form•Z. Use the Construct Solids (must be same color, must be same layer) and Join Adjacent Coplanar Surfaces options, if you wish to use this data directly within form•Z. See the DWG FAQ for further information.
