You are shouting, which is not necessary ... we hear you.

From which ArchiCAD into which Art•Lantis?

Can you post a screenshot of the message that appears?

I am using Archicad 8 'student version'

and artlantis version 4.5


the message that appears on my screen after trying to open an archicad file saved in an (atl) format says:


File must be converted into (tga)


thank you for your assistance

You probably have a texture that ArtLantis cannot read. Make sure all your textures are in jpeg/tga or other ArtLantis compatible format.

HTH,

I am Alain Picard the Art*lantis Product Manager. I'd like to investigate your problem and if you don't mind, will be interested to have the atl file+textures concerned, which create trouble at the opening into Art*lantis.

Could you please send a .zip archive to me at: picard@abvent.fr
