Ecodesigner does not recognizes my imported .3ds roof

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 08:23:48 GMT

I created a curved roof surface in Rhinoceros, then imported it into the ArchiCAD, by using the .3ds to .gsm convertor.
You can see my roof (white surface) in here:

Now, I want to calculate my whole object in EcoDesigner. But the problem is that, Archicad, simply does not recognize my roof as a valid construction and hear barrier. So it looks like, I do not even have the roof above my upper floor.

How can I fix this? How can I force Archicad to recognize this roof of mine as a barrier?

Or maybe I simply need to put a slab over my upper flor. But in that case I am loosing much of a height of my obejct, because it is in a shape of dome. Take a look at this picture:

I'm sure many of the experts are busy beta testing at this time of the year which is why the lack of comments.

Hello,

Well, it seems that gdl objects are not recognised by ecodesigner...

Have a look at this post :

Thank you for the reply.

By .gdl object, you mean the .gsm object of roof I created from my .3ds file?
