Export windows without a wall?

ananas — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 19:44:30 GMT

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to export windows without the wall in Archicad? It would be really helpful, as I'm rendering a model with various window types.

I'm currently using Archicad 26, where Design Options aren’t available yet.

Operating system used: Windows 11 Pro 23H2

Export to where?

I doubt it though as in Archicad windows belong to the wall - no wall, no window.

You might be able to if you export as a SketchUp file as you can toggle which elements are exported, including windows. Have not tried before, and the windows may or may not be associated the the wall.

Hi Lingwisyer,

No that doesn't work as when you toggle walls off it automatically toggles windows off.

Suspected that might have been the case...

Would this work for you?

The wall is zero height and the material is air.
