Hello people!
I have recently started working with Archicad 18. I need to export my Archicad models to Sketchup, so i can then apply materials and render the buildings with Vray.
The first issue i had, was that the elements were exploded in separate surfaces when saved and opened in SU, so it was impossible to apply material in each surface separately.
This issue was shorted out partially by sharing the different elements in layers (in Archicad) before saving in .skp format. Then when i was opening the sketchup file, i could close all layers, and leave only one layer open at a time, so i can select all these separate surfaces and apply the material at once.
My problem is that Archicad mixes the Doors&Window elements with the Walls. I cannot find a way to have these elements in separate layers before i save the model in .skp format.
Has anyone find a way to short this issue out?
