Traditional elevation with Artlantis

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I would love to make amazing elevations of my project: textures, shadows, bitmap trees, cars and persons, so I supposed the best idea is to do it in Artlantis.

How can I open an elevation in Artlantis saved from ArchiCAD?

When I make an axonometrical view, I can see al environment, and this doesn't let me see the building.

I'm shure there must be a asy way to transfer an elevation.

Thank you for your help 🙂

No, you cannot transfer elevations to Artlantis, but they are easy to create there.

In Artlantis you must switch to the Parallel view inspector and then simply set up the view and clipping box that you need for your elevation. Save it. Repeat for all elevations.

Every view in Artlantis, such as an elevation, has its own set of lights and heliodon associated with it. You can use the same for all of course, typical for a 3D flythrough, but for an elevation, you want the surface illuminated, and so will likely want a separate heliodon for each elevation to create the desired effect.

The artistic effects within Artlantis are especially attractive for elevations.

Good luck,
Karl

Ditto, what Karl said...

And, don't forget...

When you update your AC FILE... be sure to use the REFERENCE FILE in ArtLANTIS to bring back all ELEVATIONS and HELIODONS you created the first time...
