Usually, file format converting is a very easy thing, I usually use PolyTrans as one of the best converting package. <BR /> <BR /> BUT, in this case as I recieved this .PLA ArchiCad format I did not found any (!) software could convert this file format to any other like 3Dsmax or STl or lightwave or anything, just away from this .PLA thing. <BR /> <BR /> As I am never using ArchiCad of course I dont have it, and I do not have a chance that the supplier of the drawings could save export it for me in different format if it is possible anyway.<BR /> <BR /> So cold you help me with a converter please, which I could use to convert this PLA file format to anything else ?<BR /> <BR /> Many thanks,<BR /> <BR /> D.M.</T></DIV> Mon, 01 Aug 2005 17:20:18 GMT Anonymous 2005-08-01T17:20:18Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/converting-help/m-p/24132#M2055 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>Hi !<BR /> <BR /> I would like to ask your help, as I got lost pretty well.<BR /> <BR /> I have to do a design work in Blender, but I did received the plans in ArchiCad .PLA file format.

Once open in ArchiCAD, the model can be exported in a whole variety of commonly used formats, such as 3DS. Only a licensed copy of ArchiCAD can do this.<BR /> <BR /> Karl Mon, 01 Aug 2005 18:53:24 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/converting-help/m-p/24133#M2056 Karl Ottenstein 2005-08-01T18:53:24Z
