I would like to share a request for assistance.

QUESTION
How can I import a 3D block downloaded from the internet into Edificius?

ANSWER
To import a 3D Model that has been previously downloaded from the internet, you need to:
- Access the "BIM Object Library - Project" from the Navigator;
- Select the "3D Models" category from the menu;
- Create a new folder;
- Add a new item to the folder;
- Click on the three dots “…” in the "import from file" field in the properties toolbox;
- In the dialog window, select the downloaded 3D Model;
- Set the unit of measurement (m, cm, mm) for the Model;
- The "3D Model import" window allows you to view and adjust the Model's dimensions;
- Confirm the insertion of the 3D Block by clicking "Apply".

It is possible to import 3D Model created with solid modelers in the most common formats (.skp, .dae, .obj, .3ds, .dwg, etc.).
