Known Limitations#

  • We don’t support curve or line data.

  • Some DGN files will not convert mesh data to USD.

  • DGN conversion to USD performance for large files needs optimization, can take longer, and needs more resources than expected.

  • Some material colors may not convert to USD.

We recommend converting Revit and Creo files using the Connectors instead of the CAD Converter for best results.
