archiCAD to C4D issues Help!

[Anonymous]

I just imported a number of slabs with rounded edges to C4D using the exchange plugin and what I got in place of the curved edges was a series of ragged steps. This occurs with both slabs and meshes. Does anyone know of any way to eliminate these? I can import straight lines fine, but any time I try any thing with a curve, the end result is the same. Help!

Export from AC using the Wavefront format it behaves better than the plugin.

Still trying not to think about the $75 I paid for the plugin

Do you have a system that works as far as part labels in C4D. Obviously, I'm renaming all the materials in ArchiCAD, but I'm getting two pieces to each part - a material+ "Flat Part" and the material alone.

Not yet, except creating a null object where I dump all the mat objects.

Sorry to contimue to pick your brain, but what scale do you bring them in at? I'm using "model rotated", "elements-materials", drawing unit=12.32? inches.

I can't get the scale quite right on. Have you had any success?

305 mm is about as close as I can get it.

I set C4D's units to inches since it apparently is the most precise one. Remember that all rendering programs work proportionally so they apparently fudge the dimensions but you don't have to worry as long as everything is ok in AC they will not stretch anything.
In a related note when I am creating presentations using AC and SketchUp when I import then into Cinema I have to export obj from AC and 3DS from SU so that the units match and the model keeps the same coordinates.
