how to clean geometry from archicad in max

[pedro santos]

when i import archicad geometry i find many edges unwanted as i want to make some chamfers but can´t because the edges are not connected.

anyone know a script to use in max 2012???

i work in archicad 15

[Brian Kitts]

no the archicad import wizard for max script hasn't been updated for 3 or 4 years.

download and use the autoedge script as a start, then just be sure to weld the vertices of an object you're trying to chamfer and you shouldn't have any problems.

Thanks Brian

I saw many posts from you about this problem.
What method do you use recently to export to max? still export to autocad and then link to max????

the autoedge script don´t mess the geometry? do i need first convert to poly and then use that script?

[Brian Kitts]

no i abandoned that route and went back to just doing .3ds files

the script should work fine on an editable mesh. can you post a screen capture of the model so we can see what you're dealing with?

[pedro santos]

can you send me your email? it´s better
don´t know how to post printscreen

[pedro santos]

i have already install autoedge selected script but doesn´t clean a simple mesh from archicad ((

help please

hey guys! though marc hasn´t updated the archicad import wizard script for a few years, it still works fine... we use it everyday for our work.

best regards,

christoph.
