Tutorials: Architecture approaches

Very glad here to see you liked the video.

Quote:what format was the technical/CAD drawing you imported into wings, DXF by any chance or an image?
Ok another one: can you work with units of measurements in wings? I am going to be doing a few simple cad drawings and would like to produce a few simple 3d models directly from them

1. At video i didnt imported any drawing from cad: what you are seeing there is just an image to be a reference. All the rest was made using just Wings tools. I had contact with CAD many years ago: you can discover if it is able to export in ai (adobe illustrator) or ps / eps formats. If so, WIngs is able to import them (of course we have to test it). Do you work with CAD or which application?

2. Measurements in Wings: the answer may seem strange, but 1 WU (Wings Unit) is equal to 1 m, 1 cm, 1 km or anything you want!! You just have to keep this in mind. The formula is that!

If i can be useful to your Wings learning, just ask what you want to know: it is a personal pleasure to teach what i learned one day.

EDIT: According a quick google, CAD can export esp. It is able to export 3DS too (Wings is able to import it, but i think it would be already a 3d elevation of your model). And, of course, CAD can export an image of your project: and, as you see in video, this image can be used as reference to build a 3d model.
