I do that too. Nearly every day. I work as 3D-Artist at a carpenter.
Very often we get floor plans as pdf. I only got Moi and Cinema 4D.
So i load the pdf into Moi. Clean up the plan - delete things i dont need.
That's very good to do in Moi. Better than in Cinema.
Sometimes i extrude some walls in Moi. But most of the time i only export
the floor plan as Adobe Illustrator. And then i import it into Cinema.
Sadly the exportetd AI-File dosen't got right measurements(don't know why)
so i have to scale it in Cinema on the right size.

Hi Janne,

> Sadly the exportetd AI-File dosen't got right measurements(don't know why)

What unit system do you have set when you do the import into MoI?

Try setting the units to either millimeters, centimeters, or inches before doing the import.

When you have the units set to one of those choices, the AI/PDF importer will attempt to preserve the units in the file into the current unit system.

If you have units set to something else like "no units", then it will do a more arbitrary scaling of 1/20 the size, because the units used in PDF files are natively in "points" which can tend to have somewhat large numbers used, like x = 1552.23, y = 2785.12 , stuff like that, that tends to come in at a rather large relative size in MoI if just taken directly.
