- ETABS only process arcs, lines and closed polys from DXF or DWG file.
- ETABS uses closed polygons to create columns and floors. Only rectangular and circular columns can be converted to ETABS columns
- For beams and walls, ETABS uses straight lines and arcs.
- ETABS creates centerlines between two parallel lines or arcs if the centerlines are close to your specified value and their length difference is not more than your specified value.
- If a wall is defined in DXF/DWG file as a polygon, ETABS will not create a centerline. This means there is no conversion of centerline to wall in this case. It is required to explode polygon into lines and arcs (in DXF/DWG file) to get centerlines in ETABS/SAFE.
