Find out how to easily upload and process your Autodesk 3D construction models
Compatibility
Autodesk offers several products to make a good 3D detail engineering model, such as Fusion or Autocad. Both can be used to transform the 3D model to 2D production information but this involves manual labour because the tools that are available are not design to create complete Building packages fully automatically.
- The Onepush solution Automated Production Preparation generates cutting files within 48 hrs
- DXFs created with Autocad or Fusion require hours of manual checking and editing. Onepush DXFs don't need checking
- Weld markings need to be added manually to DXFs in Autocad or Fusion. Onepush automatically generate extensive weld markings on DXFs. The same goes for flange marking, rulers and more
- Reduce up to 20% of production hours. Eliminate manual sorting & marking. Minimize issues & questions, due to effortless upgrade to detailed customized files
Export
Exporting 3D models from Fusion or Autocad is quite easy. The best file formats for a flawless process with the Onepush machine are STEP or DWG.
To export from AutoCAD to Onepush, you can follow these steps:
- Open the AutoCAD file containing the drawing you want to export.
- Select the objects you want to export.
- Go to the File menu and select Export.
- In the Export dialog box, choose the file format you want to export to (e.g. DWG, STEP).
- Choose the location where you want to save the exported file and enter a name for it.
- Click the Save button to export the file.

Data integration
You have the choice to transfer extra data, which is possible through exporting data from Autocad or Fusion in csv format, such as:
- Material specification
- Assemblies
- Panels
If you require further information on data integration, please feel free to reach out to us.
However, it is not mandatory to transfer additional data to Onepush. Based on our expertise, a 3D construction model without any data generally suffices, as the Onepush Platform generates all the necessary information to produce a superior quality Building Package.
