Archicad 26 to Lumion 12 Origin problem

a12020 — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 10:11:03 GMT

Hi! I've been working with a file in Archicad 26 and importing it to Lumion 12.

My problem is that Lumion is using a different Origin point than the one I have in Archicad and it is far away from the model. (The origin point on Archicad is close to the model).

Also, when I try to re-import the model it doesn't recognize the last model location so I have to re-locate the model every time, and with the origin so far away it is becoming a real issue.

Can someone help?

I don't use Lumion, so don't know how it references the Archicad file.

But check the location settings (Longitude and Latitude) are correct.

Also turn the survey point on in Archicad and see where that has been set - I have no idea if Lumion will use the survey point as a reference or not.

Are you using the Live-Sync? We have no issue with AC22 or 23 in Lumion 12.5.

Did you ever fix this problem? I have a similar issue where the 0,0,0 is in the middle of my Archicad 27 project. But when I send it to Lumion via Livesync, the file in Lumion 12.5, is miles away from the 0 Lumion point.
