Sorry unable to answer your query but welcome to the forums.
I recommend you delete the same question in the other forums while you can (until someone posts a response). Go to the post and click the "x".

You will get just as many responses with the one query posting and not annoy some of the members.

I also suggest you add details of your computer , system and Archicad version so others will be able to give a meaningful response. (tip: add it to your signature)

cheers

The most common reasons for getting this message are:

1. zero height wall somewhere in your model (do a search - Djordje ran into this)

2. your material names have characters that the Artlantis output plug-in cannot understand. Make sure you have the most current Artlantis Out add-on. If you are using Artlantis R or Studio, you must go to the Abvent web site to download this. If you are using 4.5, I think there is one update at the Abvent site - so long I cannot remember. With early versions of the plug-in, materials could not have the "-" character in their name. Since I see that you are from Moscow... it is possible that certain unicode cyrillic characters might be a problem?

I recommend that you ask your question on the appropriate Abvent (Artlantis) forum...www.abvent.com
Studio/R forums are here:

Maybe:) ... i try use only latin symbols in my model.
Besides, when i open my file, there is a message about error - "Can't find picture file: Sim-wood, called at line 41 of file master_GDL_Simform.GDL." - but file not contain any objects with sim-wood texture.
Also - when i select with marquee tool a part of plan and go to 3d-window - parallel proection - all it's ok, but if i try rendering image there is a message about error - "Not enough memory to create rendering image (error code 110)"...when i select other part of plan - it's ok!...if i try make render only one wall - it's ok, but if it wall contain any objects - appear problem, and deleting objects one by one and reload - not crack a problem...i can't found problem object:(((

Sorry for my clumsy english:)
