Extrude 2D polygon shp to 3D objects

By using this function, Arcv2CAD can extrude Polygon shapes to form 3D objects based on the 'Elevation' value.

For example: a 2D shapefile of building layouts could be exported as extruded 3D objects representing the buildings.

STEP1: Choose Polygon Shapefile, tick "Elevation", press "Specify" button.

STEP2: Select "Elevation" as an elevation key, confirm that 3D faces is selected and press OK button.

STEP3: Press "colours" button.

STEP4: Confirm that Elevation and value ranges are selected and press OK button.

STEP5: Press "Save as" button to decide a new AutoCAD file name and where to save. Or you can simply press “Save” button. Then the conversion will start.

STEP6: When the conversion is completed, press “View Output” button and Open AutoCAD drawing on your CAD viewer/ editing software.

STEP7: Now switch on displaying 3D object on AutoCAD drawing and change to “top left front” view mode.

STEP8: You can see 3D object on AutoCAD drawing.
