Import Troubleshooting Guide

Problem	Why It Happens	What To Do
Unsupported file format	File type not supported	Use supported CAD/GIS format
File cannot be read	File corrupted	Re-export from source software
No graphic information	No geometry included	Export with visible geometry layer
Missing SHP components	ZIP incomplete	Include .shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj
Total area exceeded	Dataset too large	Clip to site boundary

Problem	Why It Happens	What To Do
File lacks location data	CRS missing	Assign CRS before export
Objects far from project	CRS mismatch	Reproject to project CRS
Project CRS applied automatically	No CRS detected	Export with valid CRS

Problem	Why It Happens	What To Do
Object too large or small	Units mismatch	Check meters vs feet
Geometry distorted	Wrong projection	Use projected CRS (UTM/State Plane)
