3D objects import

Anonymous — Fri, 18 Apr 2014 14:19:51 GMT

Hi,

Does anyone know good websites where I could download 3D furniture objects for Archicad?And perhaps good video tutorials on the whole process of downloading them?

Thank you!

This page lists all the important ones.
You should probably visit the first 3-4 in the list, those have the most content:

Dear laszlonagy, I have checked all sites - very useful, thanks a lot - but i have problem using the objects. Could you please explain a bit about how to download them? I chose download for archicad, downloaded file, unzipped.... but I must be missing something else. I've never downloaded objects before, so just have no idea how to deal with all these different format files. Thank you!

If you downloaded a GDL file then you should either place in into one of the Linked Libraries of the Project or load the GDL file directly into the Project in which case it will be placed into the Embedded Library.

If you downloaded a 3DS file you can import it. These articles will help you in that:
