Does anyone know if AC &amp; Poser play nice together? Poser will apparently export DXF and 3DS, which can then theoretically be imported into Archicad. Has anyone here tried it? <BR /> <BR /> thanks <BR /> Simon</T></DIV> Thu, 04 Oct 2007 18:08:58 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/ArchiCad-amp-Poser-7/m-p/54291#M5038 Anonymous 2007-10-04T18:08:58Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/ArchiCad-amp-Poser-7/m-p/54292#M5039 I do this occasionally - be sure to enable smoothing when you import the 3Ds - also ensue the xyz coordinate systems match - If the figure comes in laying down.<BR /> <BR /> Attached is a figure generated by poser and executed in coated foam.

Sorry if these are rookie questions. <BR /> <BR /> Thanks for your help!<BR /> <BR /> ~S Thu, 04 Oct 2007 19:52:42 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/ArchiCad-amp-Poser-7/m-p/54293#M5040 Anonymous 2007-10-04T19:52:42Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/ArchiCad-amp-Poser-7/m-p/54294#M5041 It can be done.

Some of them very, very lifelike.

I haven't been able to import textures yet from poser, but I'll check out the links and post back if I can't figure it out.<BR /> <BR /> cheers Sat, 20 Oct 2007 02:30:13 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/ArchiCad-amp-Poser-7/m-p/54298#M5045 Anonymous 2007-10-20T02:30:13Z
