    I always have trouble remembering three things: faces, names, and - I can't remember what the third thing is.

    It's a 3d .dwg.
    I did the revising in sketchup, then exported to .dwg.
    I usually have more luck with .dwg than .obj format when importing into chief

    exallspaniab,

    I can not open your file. It only makes a plan view with no depth.

    If this is correct, then what is the next step?

    P.S. could you post your name.

    I played with this a bit, I made a a DXF in which I reduced triangles to quads, you should import in inches.
