Are there any architectural CAD file formats which can import directly into
Carrara 4?

I though DXF and DWG could be generated in 2D CAD packages and imported into
Carrara
and this was converted using some form of metadata, but it looks like DXF can
either be 2D
or 3D. I imported a 2D DXF into Carrara 3 and all the line segments were
separated, so I
couldn't just extrude the walls! I ended up joining all the points in
Illustrator and re-
importing each floor.

Any tips on better ways to do this would be very much appreciated (I checked
out some
specific architectural plug-ins, but guidance on DXF import would help me
understand where
I've been going wrong).

Cheers,

Nigel
