Imported 3d objects problem.

Anonymous — Fri, 23 Apr 2004 14:05:40 GMT

I'm creating some 3d objects in other programs (wings, blender) and when I'm importing it through 3ds import plugin sometimes (not always) I get strange problem. Whenever I use marquee to see selected region in 3d (crossing or no that object ) I don't see it. If I don't use marquee or if I select that object I see that object properly. Any thoughts ?

Double check that the imported object symbol actually relates to the object in 3D. Place a slab directly under the object in question and then do the marquee.

Sometimes imported objects - especially those from the "Y axis is vertical" world - displace their symbols when rotated for ArchiCAD.

It has been happening to me on native ArchiCAD library parts - check the cars and trucks from Anniversary edition of 7.0 - and has been happeneing to the stairs from StairMaker for some time.

Does it happen only when the object is cut by the marquee or even if it is within the marquee?

This is happening if marquee is crossing object AND if object is inside marquee. .
