Missing Glass from Casework Objects in TwinMotion

When using casework objects that have glass doors, the glass panes are not exported to TwinMotion. I suppose it's because there is no thickness to the glass in Archicad. I have UNchecked the option to Optimize Geometry and the option to exclude small objects. I'm using the latest TwinMotion plugin v2.0.2 and TwinMotion 2020.1.

Anyone else have this issue, or have found a workaround?

Hi, Solution is to convert casework to morph(s) then select glass panels and mirror all to see visible glass surfaces in Twinmotion. Tested in AC25 and Twinmotion 2021.1.4.

While that works, I wouldn't call it a good solution. You can no longer edit the casework object short of deleting it and creating a new one. But in the interest of getting some rendering work done in the meantime, it'll do. Thanks!

In a recent model I went and created slim glass walls for all my cabinet doors. It was time-consuming but it worked.
