Archicad 25. FBX format export

[Ahmed_K]

Since Archicad 25 doesn't export fbx directly, here is a solution using linked model into sketchup, 

On the Archicad side :
- Export your project from Archicad using SKP format, (file 1)

Then Go to sketchup :

- Open an empty sketchup model, it will be used as an FBX exporter file. (file 2)

- go for : File, import, and import your .SKP Model exported from Archicad, DON'T EXPLODE IT

- export your the model as .FBX,

Now the tricky part, If you did some changes on the Archicad model, Export again and override the old file, (file 1)
inside sketchup, (file 2) Right click on the imported component and click on reload, the model will be updated,

Export as .FBX again.

Hope it help.

Epic won't develop FBX for Archicad since they already have Datasmith. They said as much when it was mentioned on their TM Facebook page. They basically said Archicad's ability to export to FBX is Graphisoft's responsibility. So, as it should be, Graphisoft needs to step up and join the 2020s in this new world of 3D!
