GIS to Autocad Map3D - 3D Buildings
Hi All I am trying to translate GML polygon files with height attribute information into Simple 3D Solid Buildings in AutoCAD Map3D. Coming from a GIS background I have no idea where to start. Has anyone experience of creating 3D objects in AutoCAD Map3D from GIS data? I am looking to create a workbench that can then possibly called on the fly via FME Server. I have briefly investigated and many of the articles go the other way - from CAD to GIS. Also creating a 3D polygon in Autocad appears to involve multiple settings and steps inside autocad itself. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or to sample similar workbench files? Is this even possible? Thanks, Mike

Hi,
It seems the lines are not closed... Use LineCloser, LineJoiner and AreaBuilder and then connect to extruder...

Hi Pratap
Sorry about the slow reply - unfortunately the data is government restricted. But all it really contains is simple buildings with a height attribute.
Even if just one polygon could be added with a creater transformer and then assigned a random height aribute - how would / could this be transformed into a 3D building in Autocad Map 3D?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Pratap
We would like the Buildings to be 3D Solids.
Extruding a 2D polygon in AutoCAD is simple and creates a 3D Solid - using the extrude transformer in FME creates a polyface mesh which is not suitable for our purposes.
Thanks,
Mike
