[Qgis-user] 3D dxf files

[Siki Zoltan]

Dear Matt,

which version did you try?
What type of entites your dxf file(s) contains? Are them supported by ogr 
DXF driver? Check http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_dxf.html
Try to check entities with ogrinfo.
I had trouble with 1.8 (exspecially on Windows) to load dxf.
I used ogr2ogr instead QGIS, because you can set more options.

I cannot find any DXf file in the zip file you specify.

Best regards,
Zoltan
