Transfering rasters and materials from ac 13 to ac14

Anonymous — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 09:31:53 GMT

Hi all,

I created a .tpl file in AC13 that contained rasters and materials I like to use often. Yesterday I installed AC14. Is there a way to transfer these rasters and materials form one version to another, whithout needing to re-create them?

Cheers in advance

zoltar:

The most efficient way is to use Attribute Manager (you can read about it in the help files). You can also assign these materials to an element (for example a slab), then copy and paste the element into the other ArchiCAD file, the materials will be added to the file.

Note that the textures will need to be in the loaded libraries of any project using these materials. They will not be transferred with the material definition (only the reference to the file name).
