I would love to use Vitra furniture in my project for school... also Fritz Hansen ones.
Are they available for ArchiCAD or in any format that can be converted to ArchiCAD?
I have searched in forum and internet and I only arrive to pages that don't work anymore, or need a login.
Thank you!!

save as a new file when using them because the objects when you import will probably have lots of ploygons and slow your comp up.
or place on different layer.
or
or
good luck

Correct me if I am wrong, but to import a Sketchup model into ArchiCAD, this plugin is needed:
For the moment, only 32bit version is available
Any other source where to find these kind of models? Seems that my teacher loves them and would be great to use in my project

Thank you for your answer.
