Hi, can Archicad files be imported into 3D Studio Max?
If so, which file types??

I need to create walk through animations, any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Go to 3d view, then save as .3ds

This will export your model to 3d studio and even export your textures.

You may have to download the add-on. It used to be a goodie. I don't recall if it still is.

The add-on lets you import 3DS into Archicad, not the other way around.

3D Studio Out should come preloaded with ArchiCAD. 3D Studio In should be available as a downloadable goodie.

Unless I'm missing something?

This is the way to export 3d model to 3ds and after that u can use your 3d model in other software !

Search the Forum before you ask such a mundane question!

There are at least 20 threads on the topic!

I myself have explained the procedure at least 3 times!

Reading the Manual is of great help too!
