Hi,

I've just tried to import a dwg file into capture and it has both plan and section details but when I try and select the sections to leave me just the plan it selects all the layers and I can't find a way to 'explode' them. I've opened the file in Sketchup and tried to alter things in there but when I import that it has put all in one layer and is only selectable as a whole.

Any help?

Thanks, Simon

Depending on what entities the DWG file is compiled from, you may not be able to split it within Capture. Have you tried editing it in a CAD environment (not SketchUp) and exploding it before importing it in Capture?
