hi... this is my first post!!

ok the thing is that i am using archicad for 8 years now..but today is my 1st day with maxonform..I downloaded the tutorials from graphisoft website and started to practice it..

but in tutorial 5..the one with NHS offices? i draw a slab in archicad i select the option to edit it in maxon form... when i get to maxonform i only get one objects group "Archicad environment" and there is no slab!! i cant see it in maxonform and its not listed...

i even tried to select an existing slab in NHS offices in archicad together with a wall? in maxon form i have the wall as a separated object but not the slab!!!

and trying to edit a slab , the same way in another file it works!!! but i can't do it here!!! i can't create a slab and edit it in maxonform, even i can't select an existing slab and edit it in maxonform, i mean in maxon form the model will be there in Archicad environment but there is no other group of objects and the slab is missing!!


I don't know whats happening!!! please HELP!!!

wooow!! my first post and all that replies!!! i really apreciate that!! i mean from now on i won't feel alone!!
thanx all!!

ok now i've tried to isolate the problem..but most of the time..its random!!!

so there are no rules!!

and for asking if i translated it the right way " i mean selcting it in 3d..etc" yes for sure

compatiblity? mmmm i don't know actually i am using ac10 and mf for 10!! so i don't thin there is a problem about that.

but my friends thanx for teh tutorials i'll start looking for it... and i\ll consider the idea of creating the objects in maxonform..but the problem is even if i want to modify it later i mean after saving it inot an object sometimes going back to maxonform means that i will have nothing in maxonform!!!

but i am really happy with ur replies!! thanx again )
If I whatever understand u right, you're problem is that your MF model is lost when going back to AC!?
While in MF you can save your stuff and the next time you want it in MF...go from AC creating a new file and when MF opens, merge the MF project and your home...
If I understood your question...
Cheers whatever your name is,

no its not always the same sometimes i can't get from AC to maxonform and sometimes from maxonform to AC!!!

but now i am sure its a bug or something!!

and my name?? my name is Bond... James bond!!! looool

thanx friends!! u are all helpfull!! i mean really!! at least i am not alone in this!!!

and now working more on maxonform, i have questions about displaying in AC,

mm.. lets say i want a simple twisted building with a window in the middle

i discovered that the good way to do that is to have the walls and the windows in AC, go to MF"maxonform" twist it and go back, but this means that i will get distorted walls and connections!!

so i must do " subdivision" in MF and then twist it, but i can't do this with a wall contains a window!! i don't know something will go wrong with the window?

mm hope u can understand that? damn!! i forgot to take pictures of that!! if its not clear i will coz now i am not using my computer, but i guess u can handle this amigos!!!
