Hello Al4n_rdz, when in AutoCAD launch the command LIST on one of your 3D objects and get the answer of what the entity is.
If it's a 3D "volumic" object the answer should be : 3DSOLID
If it's a 3D wireframe or an other thing the answer should be 3DFACES or 3DMESH
On the other hand I think that you can dimension 3D wireframe directly in 3D.
Please tell me ( us ) your method to generate your views ( on AutoCAD ).
"essayons" non, instead let us try and succeed.

The question was, "How can I check if my model is a mesh?"  Do you have an answer or are you just here to talk about how much you like mesh models?

Thanks for your answer and maybe it's very obvious or it sounds very silly my question, but I'm not very familiar with the program,  how can i check if my model is a mesh?  .. ]]> Wed, 14 Dec 2016 20:39:10 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12144&PID=33043&title=autocad-3d-model#33043 <![CDATA[AutoCAD 3D model : If your model is a 3D mesh,...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12144&PID=33042&title=autocad-3d-model#33042 Author: Vladimir Michl

If your model is a 3D mesh, there is a chance to convert it to a solid. But if it is only a wireframe, there is no automated way.

Hello, I'm new to theforum, I'm a student and I take this opportunity to greet you and ask you myquestions and see if anyone can help me solve it, the question is:

 I have a 3D model of ametal structure made with the help of Advance Steel, I need to generate theblueprints of that model but for more than I searched on the internet and invideo tutorials I can not generate them, the last option that I have is to tryto make them in Autocad generating the views, but my problem is that when Iselect the object it does not detect me as solid and therefore I can notgenerate the views, someone knows if there is a command or some way to convertthat object into a solid or a Block to be able to manipulate it like I want?

I really hope someone can help me and thank you for your time.
