And the developers have told me that my request(s) are on the "wish list" for future releases of the Translator.

Now I would like to use a feature called File Link Manager in Max, which only works with DWG format.<BR /> Now that's a problem since ArchiCAD doesn't assign materials to the geometry like it does with 3DS. Reassign every material in Max is a pain.<BR /> <BR /> Why ArchiCAD doesn't export DWG with materials like it does with 3DS??<BR /> <BR /> Thank you,<BR /> Ricardo</T></DIV> Mon, 17 Jul 2006 21:04:43 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Why-not-3D-Dwg-with-materials/m-p/33191#M2857 Electric Flute 2006-07-17T21:04:43Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Why-not-3D-Dwg-with-materials/m-p/33192#M2858 We've been asking Graphisoft for the ability to export .DWG by materials for a while...
