Colors & DXF format in Phoenics. HELP

Yiannis

Hi all,

I 'm trying to put in Phoenics a 3D model of a football stadium that I created in Autocad 2000. The stadium consists of 3 major 3D objects. I want to put them in Phoenics in order to study the air flow around and inside the stadium.

The problem is that I can't put these objects in Phoenics using the DXF format. The steps I followed :

1. Put the objects in positive xyz.

2. Run the command "dxfout" , ascii, select objects

3. I have then 3 files , up_diazoma.dxf, down_diazoma.dxf and field.dxf

4. I open Phoenics and select New object from Cad and then dxf format.

5. Finally I select one of those 3 dxf files and Phoenics seems to convert them in dat format....

But when I try to see them inside the main window of Phoenics there is nothing. Also when I open (with notepad) the DAT files that Phoenics has created from my DXFs they have only two lines with the number 0 !!!!!!!

CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE? CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN TO ME THIS PROBLEM....IF SO I CAN SEND YOU MY FILES TO TEST THEM.

SO I tryied the alternative format (STL).... With STL all works fine , but I want to change the color of the 3 objects in Phoenics....(E.X. The field=green, up_diazoma=gray etc.)..

How can I do this ?

Any help would be appreciated.
