As with any 3D software, the process is one of finding what ArchiCAD imports and what Cobalt exports - and choosing the common format that provides the most data / best results.

To import anything that is 3D (other than IFC) into ArchiCAD requires that you import as a (monolithic) object - using the File > Lib > Open Object command. Examine the file formats available there.

Yes master , here is the list of steps you have requested

1) Export 3DS from your software

2) Download and Install the Goodie 3DSin

3) Read 3DSIn documentation

4) for goodie information look in your help file

Hope the master is happy with the list, please don't whip me

Oops, thanks Eduardo... tired and forgot about 3DS which was the most likely common format.
