Hi,

I have some problems importing a hotlink module Archicad file (.pln). Im working on a project connecting two big houses and i already have exicting house in Archicad, but when trying to import it to my new project it doesent work. It just stop thinking. I tried with smaller files and it works so is it becuase file might be to big?

Both files are 80 mb each. Tried sevral times but cant seem to make it.

Using Archicad 18.

Any help is appreciated.

This is not a wish so I have moved it to the 'Working in Archicad' section and removed the poll.

Sorry I have no answer for you but have you hotlinking your files into an empty template just to see if it works?

I just made some progress by trying importing both my files to AC 17 and then Everything works fine..

So there must be some error with AC 18 importing hotlinked modules?

We have had problems importing modules and discovered that the modules defaulted to a renovation status that was switched off in the model.

Have you tried altering the renovation status of the model?
