Add-on CAD2Cube — DXF Importer
CAD2Cube — DXF Importer

Free DXF importer with layers, units and block instances.
Add-on by LongLiveTheCube
About What's New Permissions Reviews Version History
Quick demo showing how to use CAD2CUBE: Importing a DXF floorplan, automatically preserving layers/units, and instantly extruding solid hatches into 3D walls.

CAD2CUBE is a lightweight, free, and open-source Blender extension designed to streamline your CAD-to-3D architecture and interior design pipeline. It optimizes the process of importing blueprints, allowing you to focus immediately on 3D modeling without wasting hours on manual scene cleanup.

Key Features • Automated Hatch Processing: Automatically converts geometric CAD hatch patterns into clean, lightweight 2D filled faces on the fly (Default set to "All as solid" for seamless workflows). • [NEW] Merge 3D Faces: Added an optional utility to merge fragmented 3DFACE entities into a single mesh and weld duplicate vertices—perfect for clean topology and Civil 3D workflows. • Viewport Zoom Fix: Filters out distant boundary coordinates from hidden block definitions during import, ensuring Blender's view framing stays locked precisely onto the visible drawing. • Junk Object Filter: Automatically skips AutoCAD anonymous dimension blocks (such as D1, D2), preventing dozens or hundreds of unnecessary junk objects from cluttering your Outliner. • Smart Organization: Automatically reads exact drawing units (millimeters, centimeters, or meters) and organizes CAD layers into separate, clean Blender collections while preserving viewport layer colors.

Format Support • DXF: 100% native support with an instant, zero-setup import experience. Highly recommended for the fastest, standalone workflow.

Note: To fully comply with the official Blender Extensions platform guidelines regarding security and third-party software dependencies, native DWG support via external bridges has been removed starting from v1.5.0. If you still strictly require legacy DWG import capabilities, please download v1.4.5 directly from our Gumroad or GitHub releases page.


What's New

1.5.0 June 29th, 2026

🆕 What's new in v1.5.0 • HATCH import — filled regions (rooms, slabs, walls) come in as real mesh faces • Nested block instancing — no more scene explosion with complex drawings • Merge 3D Faces — Civil 3D terrain files weld into a single clean mesh Important Update (v1.5.0): To comply with the official Blender Extensions platform guidelines regarding third-party software and security, native DWG support via the ODA converter has been removed. This plugin is now a 100% standalone, ultra-safe, and lightweight DXF Importer.
