I know how to import separate objects to Archicad, I have also tried the inteligent merging in Archicad, I thought it would work but it didn't ... Mayby I am doing something wrong...<BR /> This is what I would like to get.<BR /> I export model to Autocad - I modify only some of the elemnts - I import it back to Archicad and I want to get all unchanged elements with their prievious properties and only the others as new binar obiects. <BR /> I supose that this sketchup plugin can do it. Do you know any other ways to do it?</R></DIV> Thu, 15 Jan 2009 17:47:06 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Is-there-autocad-plugin-similar-to-sketchup-one/m-p/155131#M17510 Anonymous 2009-01-15T17:47:06Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Is-there-autocad-plugin-similar-to-sketchup-one/m-p/155132#M17511 <BLOCKQUOTE>BartekOrni wrote:<BR />I supose that this sketchup plugin can do it.</BLOCKQUOTE> Nope.

Just not as editable ArchiCAD elements. Save your surface model as 3ds and use the ArchiCAD 3ds importer.<BR /> <BR /> Cheers,<BR /> Karl Sat, 17 Jan 2009 00:07:04 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Is-there-autocad-plugin-similar-to-sketchup-one/m-p/155134#M17513 Karl Ottenstein 2009-01-17T00:07:04Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Is-there-autocad-plugin-similar-to-sketchup-one/m-p/155135#M17514 Thanks for Your help.
