FAQ 005141 | Is it also possible to create members when importing a DXF file into RFEM?

Question:
Is it also possible to create members when importing a DXF file into RFEM?

Answer:
The lines in a DXF file can be imported as lines or members. You can select the “Create Members” option in the “Main” tab of the import dialog box (Image 01).

When importing members, the names of layers are transferred as cross-section names, and the first predefined material is assigned. If a cross-section of the Dlubal cross-section library and a material from the Dlubal material library are recognized from the layer name, they are transferred. The layer name must be specified in the format [Cross-Section Name]$[Material Name] (for example, IPE 300$S235).

The import of lines/members is shown in the video.
