Jon Mirtschin replied to Steven Leech's discussion 'ArchiCAD import issues'"A comment on this, depending on the nature of your model, I'm having a few users using the IFC plug-in I'm actively developing to exchange data between ArchiCAD and Rhino. Feel free to get in touch if you wish to learn more or try it…"
Stefan Boeykens replied to Steven Leech's discussion 'ArchiCAD import issues'"Importing mesh geometry inside ArchiCAD does not lead to satisfying results. You can use them as geometry props, but they come in facetted and without clean 2D drawing. It might be better to use e.g. SketchUp Pro and Layout and just place the meshes…"
Bruna Salgado replied to Steven Leech's discussion 'ArchiCAD import issues'"I have exactly the opposite problem. I've made a chair model in Rhino for Mac and now need to export it to ArchiCAD. Already downloaded a 3ds In plug-in but I'm new to ArchiCAD and can't seem to put together on how to import the…"
Matus Nedecky replied to Steven Leech's discussion 'Dosch Design query..'"Hi, it is stand-alone, You can export 3ds or any othe 3d format. Model is already with coordinates, you dont apply textures in this program. Instead apply them in Rhino, it's better. it is very customizable and very realistic. in your dosch…"
Steven Leech replied to Steven Leech's discussion 'ArchiCAD import issues'"Does exporting as a .obj file have UV mapping co-ords provided with the objects? And do you have the option of exporting as polysurfaces instead of meshes? As mentioned above, I was having issues mapping to objects exported out as a .3ds file as…"
Steven Leech replied to Steven Leech's discussion 'ArchiCAD import issues'"Thanks for the info Stefan, I definitely won't use the DWG option as I do want the UV mapping co-ords. On another note, as I mentioned previously, the second file I received was in .3ds format, but all the geometry was in meshes? Is there a way…"
Steven Leech replied to Steven Leech's discussion 'Dosch Design query..'"Hey Matus, thanks for the reply - I had a look at Onyxgarden - very impressive! So, would you basically just open up OG, create a tree for example, apply some textures to it and then export/save it as a file readable by Rhino?
I saw a lot of stuff…"
"Exporting as obj from archicad and importing with Rhino v.5 works great, i do it all the time.
With this workflow you can have in rhino individual meshes for all archicad objects with the same material. e.g. if you have 100 object in archicad but,…"
Stefan Boeykens replied to Steven Leech's discussion 'ArchiCAD import issues'"As an ArchiCAD user, I haven't tried this yet, but I do have some experience with exporting ArchiCAD models to other applications. I had good results exporting to 3ds files, but I had to specify that I wanted the geometry organized according to…"
Matus Nedecky replied to Steven Leech's discussion 'Dosch Design query..'"I personally don't know Dosch, but I use OnyxGarden Superbundle... and I have no complains :) You can generate almost any tree, bush, conifer, palm, flower, set their mesh, set EVERY parameter you can imagine... try to find this package as well…"
