Hi All,
just some questions of interest.
is there any software/plug-in available to generate road signage as cad outline in Grasshopper/Rhino???
if given cad dgn file with signage as image, how do i convert as a 3d object? Will need to export as ifc.
I believe the Rooster plugin for Grasshopper can extract curves from images. Once you have the outlines, you simply extrude them.
for Rhino there is a Plugin called Vectorize which you can get from the Package Manager
you probably mean dmg? i assume that would be 2d files which you simply extrude, but what is your goal here?
also i am not sure if Rhino exports as ifc without further plugins.
i had a cad file in .DGN format. I am able to see signage as images through microstation. When I import the dgn file into Rhino, these images CANNOT be imported.
The file is a 2D Plan of civil road signage file. I wish to create a 3d object for the road signage
you’ll have to find out how to export your dgn file from within microstation in a way that also includes the image.
you’ll find some help here.
it seems like you’ll definitely be able to export dwg, which is great, since you can use it almost universally.
since i - or anyone i know, for that matter - never used microstation, i can;t be 100% confident in how to guide you. but following the logic of almost all cad and 3d program, the images exist either as referenced files or embedded. if they are referenced, find them on the harddrive. If they are embedded, there must be a way to export them.
