ARCHICAD campatible With Form Z

[Anonymous]

How well is Form Z Compatible with ArchiCAD? Our Designer uses Form Z and when I import his Dwg's file they groups as one complete object. I can select the object and view it as a 3D as one complete object, but i would like to select one single item in his drawings and view it separately. if i explode the objects it becomes flat which does no good to me. I'm working with ArchiCAD 11 now.

If they can export an IFC model from form Z you can import it retaining the individual parts.

Now will this work with Sketchup as well?

Models direct from sketchup take a lot of cleaning up to be useful in archicad.
For use in archicad, you are better off recreating it with archicad tools.

Thanks for the Info. My designer has the latest version for Form Z and IFC Model was not and option. Now he would have to export correct and not save as?
thanks one more time for the info
