Script to export multiple views as FBX files

Emre Senoglu

Hope this is the right place to ask this - I have a question regarding automation for exporting fbx files. I have 5 3d views that I want to export all at once as individual FBX files. Is this something that is possible with the python connection? If so, can someone please point me towards the right direction to get started with creating such a script? Many thanks.

It’s not possible with the Python API, I’m afraid. I doubt it’s possible with the C++ API either, because FBX import/export is an extension on its own and its API might not be public.

 

Maybe possible with AppleScript, but that's probably a stretch. I don't really know how well Archicad UI is scriptable with AppleScript.

Thank you - I understand. I was also wondering about a udatasmith export, but from what you explain it sounds also not possible.
