Hi,

 

I work with AC10 and then export the model into studio max 9. however my problem is that the materials (max materials not archicad materials) do not display correclty, if at all on a few objects from archicad, i have to recreate them in max. A very time consuming process.

 

Has anyone come across this problem, and a way to fix it? If its even an archicad problem that is...

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Neil

 

Importing a 3ds from ArchiCAD 10 / 11 should not be a problem. I tend to use

Marc Lorenz import wizard which gives u a few more options regarding materials. Check this link -http://plugins.angstraum.at/ .... at the bottom of the page.

 

If your model is huge, try & export it from ArchiCAD in two parts .....I've found that large detailed models, which inc. trees / cars etc. can have problems such as bits of geometry missing.....although this only happens occasionally.

 

Hope this helps.
