AutoCAD Commit Creating Lines from Origin Point in Speckle

bcall · 28 April 2022 17:22

As I pushed CAD elements from AutoCAD to speckle, surfaces tying the elements to the origin point appeared. Is this a setting that can be turned off?

Hi @bcall!

Not sure what could be happening here, and our in-house expert in the ACAD connector, @clrkng, may not be available to check it out until next week.

Meanwhile, would it be possible to share the stream where this happens with us?

It would also help to have the original file (if possible) so we could test things on our end. You can send it privately if sharing it publicly here is not an option

Does this happen in the viewer only? Or also when you receive the geometry in other connector?

Hi Alan,

It looks like this is only happening in the web viewer. When I pull the elements into Revit, it is no longer an issue.

I have added you as a contributor on the stream, as well as Claire, but I can’t share the original file.

Hi @bcall ,

Can you please share the stream with me so I can have a look?

Thanks

Also, @bcall can you please tell us what type of elements are the affected ones? I tried on my end with some simple geometries and could not replicate Maybe share a file with just one of two sample elements?

Alex, sure can! What is your email?

bug

**What package are you referring to?** Viewer👀 **Describe the bug** Made a …commit from AutoCAD. This is what i see in the viewer👇 ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/51519350/180429847-78da40f8-84ad-41d2-9dae-4d480f8e5884.png) For some reason, it generates set of lines from origin (probably) to vertex points. Imported same geometry into Rhino and made a send from there, looks just fine. ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/51519350/180430621-9231d146-fee9-46d9-8e8d-f72c1d0b6802.png) **To Reproduce** Take a look at this stream👇: https://latest.speckle.dev/streams/f45dab9af9 or 1. Open this file in AutoCAD👉: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Cp8GhI0sNdr-bRv4P6H1bRMOBZtivfiU/view?usp=sharing 2. Select everything and send it to Speckle. 3. View it in the browser 4. See error. **Desktop (please complete the following information):** - OS: Windows 10 - Browser: Opera, Edge - Version: Edge Version 103.0.1264.62, Opera Version:89.0.4447.48

Awesome! Thank you so much! Do you need anything else from my end?

Today I was able to export a native CAD file out of Civil 3D into Speckle without any issues. However, when I tried to push a CAD file exported from Revit into Speckle from Civil3D, I had the same issue as above. I also noticed that when I loaded the CAD into Navisworks, exported out as an FBX and loaded that into Blender, it also gave some lines to the origin point, but didn’t create surfaces like the export from CAD does.

Finally got around to fixing this! The fix will be available with our 2.8 release

For the curious, the glitch was a result of Autocad mesh face vertices sometimes having negative indices, which wasn’t being handled correctly in our conversion.

That is great news!! Thank you Claire and Speckle Team!
