The imported DXF is fairly unorganized and unusable (a bunch of simple part lines and meshes). I've scoured the BIM/Arch/Draft information available that shows converting imported parts to sketches and merging them but I am struggling with transforming the specific import into something usable within FreeCAD. My ultimate goal is to use FreeCAD to visualize remodel options. I have already modeled the window and door options in FreeCAD that I would like to drop into the imported model for visualization with siding and roofing materials.
Here is the Hover model using Hover's 3D viewer/editor and the FreeCAD model after importing the DXF file.
So the goal of this "help" post is to solicit hints and tips from the BIM gurus for transforming the DXF import into something a bit more usable - basically point me in the right direction to get me over the initial hurdle. I have uploaded the DXF file to dropbox in case anyone wants to review the import to provide guidance.
Thanks in advance.
