FILE REQUIREMENTS

  • Please save Autocad .DWG files as version 2000. Google Sketchup files can be sent but leave shapes flattened, do not use the push/pull function.

  • Intersecting curves and lines need to connect, unintentional broken vectors will require welding (joining). Lines on top of each other can cause problems. Polylines with thicknesses should be set to thickness zero.
