vru Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Hi I have made a free form model in Archicad using mesh and dome tools. I want to scale it down so I can make a physical model of it. But if I try to resize the objects in plan the heights remain the same???!!!??? So my model looks squeezed. Is there any way to scale all the objects in all dimensions? Also is there a way to import a 3ds file into archicad? Because I can scale my model in max and import it to archicad only if i find a way to do so. Thanks for your comments Vrushali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Save it as an object and then you can rescale it vertically as well in the object library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way to scale all the objects in all dimensions? Do as Robin suggests. However, aren't your output device's drivers capable of handling scaled output? Hi Also is there a way to import a 3ds file into archicad? Because I can scale my model in max and import it to archicad only if i find a way to do so. Thanks for your comments Vrushali You can import a DXF file as an object. It will translate to GDL but that would be an extra "unnecessary" step.

lucho Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Hi! i have to tell you that if you use the library not all the objects can be edited totally, i suggest you to work with another plug in like GDL Zoom that can help you, but remember not all the objects can be edited totally Lucho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stefkeB Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 You know that there is an (unsupported) 3ds-importer? For ArchiCAD 8.1 http://www.gshelp.de/CDownloads/Downloads81.html For ArchiCAD 8.0 http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/download.php?id=394 For ArchiCAD 7.0 http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/download.php?id=394 (The last two are hosted in the Architalk-forums, which are recommended for ArchiCAD-users, although Visualisation is only a small part of the topics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
