Archicad to Sketchup

[Anonymous]

Whenever I try to save my ArchiCAD model as a sketchup file, nothing happens. It just closes the save window but does not save the file. I have discovered that it will not save unless I uncheck "doors" when saving. Has anyone else experienced this? Why am I able to export every model category except for the doors?

Most likely one of the doors has a geometry that ArchiCAD can't translate to SKP format. Maybe some self intersecting planes going on or very complex geometry.

Hello DMilewsky,

Could you send me that project in a Private Message? (or if you can narrow it down to just a few elements that prevent the export, then a simpler version is fine as well)
I would like to take a look at it to see what causes the problem, so we can fix it!

Thanks,

I think Erwin is correct about the geometry, as I had a similar issue but with objects so I would have to not include objects in the export. I do not think we solved the issue, we just removed all the furniture as it was irrelevant to the consultant anyway. Though that is not always possible, such as in your case...
