Import 3DM component

Is the import 3DM component updated as I read in a few earlier posts? I am unable to see the defined layers in Rhino layer panel. I am using Rhino 8. Can anyone please help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ranjitha -

I’m not sure what that means.
The Rhino document isn’t updated until the Grasshopper content is baked to the document.

Hi Wim,

Thanks for the help. When I try to bake the geometry imported from a dwg file with the help of Import DM component, I see only a ‘Default’ layer in the Attributes menu. Doesn’t Import 3DM read the layers defined in the dwg file? When we import directly to Rhino using File>Import, the layers appear automatically.
I am very new to grasshopper and appreciate your help.

Hi Ranjitha -

No, the Import 3DM component only imports geometry, not the attributes. To get the attributes, you’ll need to use the Import Content component:

Which component then helps me to bake the objects to respective layers in Rhino?

The Content Cache component bakes geometry with attributes.
