Archicad-3ds max compatibility

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello everybody!
I just joined the forum, and I 'm a new user of Archicad, working currently with version 8.0. You may find my question really simple-minded, but you 'd help me if you let me know whether you can export objects made with 3D studio max into ArchiCAD and vice-versa.
I think it would be difficult to model things like, say, hypars on Archicad, and modelling them on 3Ds and then exporting them could save (me) time and trouble. I also think it would be cool to build a model on Archicad and be able to render it on 3Ds, although this seems to be less needed, since as I learn, Archicad 's new release 9 has a very good rendering engine.
Cheers,
Dennis

I am not sure if it is available under AC7 but to export from AC to Maya use the save as Wavefront (.Obj) option.
