willsud Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I cannot seem to get the Nemetschek Allplan 2004 plug-in for C4D to install to r9 - it works fine with r8.5 The patch recently posted by Maxon for Archicad and Vectorworks and Materials Exchange for CAD users makes no difference to the Allplan version as far as I can tell. Pending a reply from Nemetschek I wondered if anyone else had come across this problem (Nemetschek are advertising r9 and Allplan 2004 as a combination on their website) ? TIA for any suggestions.

Frosty Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Definitly give a shout over to Maxon Support. I have no experience with any of these plugs. I think Ace Face has used the ArchiCAD version though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willsud Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 thanks Frosty, Someone else suggested just copying the plugin from r8.5 over to r9... but when I tried that it crashed everything ! I called Maxon UK in the end and someone there thought that all plug-ins needed recompiling for r9 - however other Allplan 2004 users tell me that the r9 demo works fine - maybe something was changed before the final release? The helpful soul at Maxon said he would get on to Nemetschek about the plug-in and email it to me if it was available (!) I wouldn't be so puzzled about this except that Nemetschek are currently promoting Allplan 2004 and C4D r9 as a combination on their German site - so it must work... er, mustn't it...

willsud Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Just for the record this is now fixed - by pure chance. Not heard anything back from Nemetschek - had an email from Maxon UK about the Vectorworks plug-in ... (!) just saying the VW plug-in should work with r9 (which of course wasn't the question ).... Weird though it may seem I just tried one last time but exported in conventional .c4d format out of Allplan instead of the default of .c4U (which is the update format for the plug-in to work) and Eureka! - r9 springs into life and the plug-in import dialog comes up as if I'd used the .c4U format ... as I say... weird . I looked in the plug-ins folder and there was the Allplan_update plug-in which hadn't been there the last time I looked. Oh, well - it's a result ! regards, William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
