open archicad11 files in artlantis studio r

[Anonymous]

hi there!

i'm having a big problem opening archicad11 files in artlantis studio r. i can save the file in archicad 11 as an atl. file, but when i try to open it in artlantis, i get a message saying: the file is probably corrupt. i am desperate - i hope somebody knows how to fix this problem.

thanks a lot!

Save the file in3DS Format, and try importing it in Artlantis

First, Check that you've got the latest updates for both Archicad (Help>Check for updates) and Artlantis http://www.artlantis.com/download/ .
Then, check that you're saving from the 3D view in Perspective mode, not a Parallell projection. If that's not the problem, I'd guess some object is screwing up you file. Try using the Filter elements in 3D command, filter out all objects, and save/open in Artlantis again. Then filter out all windows, then all doors etc.
You should also check that you have full read/write permissions to the file (on the Mac, in Finder, select it and use File>Get Info.
