mm..hi .. i am not soo good... but aslong no one has answered yet .. i will try and please all correct me if i am wrong

1- you can't open .gsm in artlanits , if u want to... just put that object in Archicad file....save to .atl ... open artlantis and if u want to save it as an artlantis objects .aof u use the method in artlantis ... but opening Archicad objetcs " files" in artlantis? don't think so

2-i think maya reads .3DS? if so... then its solved

3- i thought that u are using artlantis? mmm.. Artlantis R or studio.. give it a try... good stuff... really good stuff ,

i think that in graphisoft 's site there is a plugin for AC10 to download. until v.9 you didnt need one but now you need it. and then from the openGL you save as artlantis

u mean a plugin for .atl? if so.. yes for sure u have to get a plugin to save .atl files " artlantis files"

but objects?
in artlantis you can't open .gsm "Archicad object files" directly and use it as artlantis objects .

so if u need an Archicad object to artlantis ... open archicad.. place object..open 3D view... save as .atl " for sure after installing the plug in "

open artlantis file.. and here is the object.. but still you can't use it as an artlantis object.. you have to save it as an artlantis object and add it to your catalog
