Material Editing in Archicad 12 - no Lightworks?

[Anonymous]

Hi all

Tried out Archicad 12 last night for the first time but when i go to the Material Attributes theres only a drop-down showing render with "Internal Engine" and no Lightworks..? Did they change things around so that you have to edit it some other obscure way as opposed to AC 10?

As Lightworks is an add-on, I would check the add-on manager to be sure it loaded.

Make sure the box is checked to 'Use the designated add-on folder' and that it hasn't changed from the default C:Program Files/Graphisoft/ArchiCAD 12/Add-Ons

You can 'Search for additional add-ons' to verify that 'LightWorks Rendering Engine.gmx' is available in the Visualization folder.

In Material Settings select create Preview with "LigthWorks Rendering Engine" or uncheck "Disable unrelated controls"
