therm 7.2 doesn't read dxf

Hi Chiara. I answer you in English so every one may understand.
First tip: 7.2 is not the last release of Therm, try to use 7.3.2
Second tip: make sure you export your model in an "old" version of dxf (max R12) and use the File/Underlay command with AutoConvert option selected. In your CAD software you should draw only closed polylines (in AutoCAD's terminology, I don't know ArchiCAD's) for Therm to recognize them as polygons.
Have a nice day.

Ciao Chiara.
Primo consiglio: la versione 7.2 non è l'ultima, prova a usare Therm 7.3.2.
Secondo consiglio: assicurati di esportare il tuo modello in una vecchia versione di dxf (tipo rel.10 o massimo 12), di utilizzare il comando Underlay che trovi nella prima tendina File con l'opzione AutoConvert selezionata. Inoltre nel software CAD devi solo disegnare polilinee chiuse (nella terminologia di AutoCAD, non conosco quella di ArchiCAD) affinché siano correttamente riconosciute da Therm come poligoni.
Buona giornata
Fabrizio

Hi Robin,
The procedure explained in the link to Therm Knowledge Base is useful but it actually makes the AutoConvert option impossible to use, because every polyline is exploded and transformed in simple lines. Doesn't it?
