Artlantis R out doesn't work

Anonymous — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 17:14:10 GMT

Does anybody know, what could be the reason: AC10 can't make the output file to Artlantis R. It's something in the model, because a simple part of the model exports fine but not the whole model. In Abvent page somebody had zero hight walls causing the problem, but I can't find such in the model.

That was me.

I found it by turning off all the layers, opening the 3D window in perspective, and then turning them on one by one, and exporting. When it stopped, I isolated that layer, deleted all but one element, exported, undo, deleted all but another one ... and so on.

Took a day.

Second after the dedaline.

Grrrrarh.

So far I've tried different selections with cage and then saving that in atl....and it seems that when there's at least a part of the house, export doesn't succeed.
It's strange that 3ds goes ok, but that form doesn't understand reference file at all. In this case, anyway.

But I have still two days to deadline! Next I try Your way, thanks!

Generally Artlantis R is not very reliable companion to do real jobs....

This may not help you - as you are likely using a PC, but perhaps others, AC10 on a mactel can NOT export an ATL file correctly for ArtlantisR (using the combined studio/R export plugin for mactels). Export appears to work, but ArtlantisR cannot open the result. This is a known bug. Abvent said they would release an ArtlantisR 1.2 that would fix this, but that was months ago. 3DS is the workaround, but wrongly oriented textures has been driving me nuts, so I wish they would get on top of this!

I found the guilty one in my case!
It was basic library's ordinary table 01 10. I don't know if there's such in every localisation, but at least in finnish version.
I took them away and everything SEEMS to be ok.....

It took only three hours and plus one sleepless night.....

R 1.2.2 for R has been there only a week (and there were huge problems with windows update version first, but they are probably fixed)

And I was betting Abvent would never release a new version of ArtR....

I have to quote Arnold Swartzenegger: I messed up!
Now will you vote for me anyway??

I have a question, since I've been unable to find this info on abvent's site: Is Artlantis R 1.2.2 Mac Universal (that is, does it run natively on a Macintel)?

I believe it's still a rosetta thing

Quoting Alain Picard of Abvent on the Artlantis forums:

Dear Users,

The new Artlantis R 1.2.2 update is online. It concerns all users of Artlantis R from 1.0 to 1.1.

Attention: For Mac users the 1.2.2 needs at minimum Mac OS X 10.4.1.

It is compatible Mac Binary so Mac PPC and Mac Intel.

Now, the atl files can be read indifferently with R or Studio 1.2 without missing the animations created in a Studio when the file is save again into a R, then reopened in Studio.

The atl files exported from ArchiCAD 10 can be read into Artlantis R 1.2 or Studio 1.2.

Fixes since R 1.1:

- Lights groups:
A multi selection of lights inside different lights group did only the lights from one group.

- Light selection into the Preview:
Changing a light in the light list didn’t changed the blinking light in Preview.

- Open with References
Bug into the opening window fixed.

- Merge of files:
The Billboards with Japanese names didn’t have their names displayed correctly.

Not clear to me what 'compatible' means... sounds like Rosetta. How about if one of you guys installs it and looks at your Process Viewer. The last column there tells you if it is running in Rosetta or Intel....

Thanks Karl. I missed that one. I would assume he means Universal, since that's tthe only reason I could think of to make his statement. But Frenglish isn't easy
I'm sorry I can' t test it - my C2D doesn't arrive until next week or so. Maybe Andy?
