ArchiCAD 9 Add-on for Artlantis R is available

[Anonymous]

The new export add-on from ArchiCAD 9 to Artlantis R is available in beta version Mac or Win in our web site: 

http://www.artlantis.com/download/update/

It is compatible with ArchiCAD 9 only. As a beta version it means it is not yet finalized. You agree to use it at your own risk, although internal tests have been successful.

This add-on has been developed by Abvent, the previous ones were made by Graphisoft. 

Enhancement since 4.5 add-on:

- UV map applied in ArchiCAD are now taken into account, e.g. on a multi slopes roofs, the veneer of textures keeps its original position.
- ArchiCAD objects keep now their applied textures.
- ArchiCAD default Heliodon is retrieved.
- All materials are now smoothed to zero (Use the material smoothness cursor into Artlantis on curved geometry), the goal is to avoid smoothness problem between Walls and slab with same ID material.

Help us to improve this product, so please feel free to give us your feedback.

Best Regards,

i have a problem where, the lights are converted, howeverthe dimensions of those lights are not, and the settings of those lights have tobe reset in artlantis. Inmost cases i end uphaving to turn all the lights on!.

You can edit lights in groups, and save the light status by camera - so not all of them are active.

The settings do have to be reworked as ArchiCAD has no radiosity, but it is now infinitely faster than before!

Do you guys have problem converting Lights. My experience was that lamps were lost in the export process. But, with the same setting in Archicad, export using the 4.5 addon is ok!

What's wrong?

LiHight, it is correct now, the lamps export is done correctly.
