exporting from AC12 to artlantis 1.2.6

[Anonymous]

Can it be done? I get the canned response (cannot write output file) Really not interested in upgrading to artlantis 2.0 for a 1000 bucks.

LEt me try.
Do a SendThisFile to my info. address.

You said: " Really not interested in upgrading to artlantis 2.0 for a 1000 bucks.

The new artlantis would be nice, although with the current workload, I cannot really justify it. "



What answer do you want to hear?
If you really have the workload you are telling us then the investment of an upgrade is earned back in one or two renderjobs.

His file isn't going out to Artlantis 2.0, either.

So, whaddya whaddya?

Abvent gives us the unrestricted demo - what better sales effort is there than that?

sjaak,

huh?

Seriously?

What work load are talking about? All of the posts are for the same job. Its the same freaking rendering I have been trying to get out. What do you mean, "If you really have the workload you are telling us...." I don't think I have been bragging about all the work I have. Perhaps something is lost in translation? You asked me what I want to hear, and I will tell you. "Hey you have 10 more new jobs, and they need to be done in two months." THat is what I want to hear. It's tough all around buddy. Putting food on my family's table is a little more important than the latest version of a software that works just fine most of the time. This isn't an artlantis glitch but an archicad one. So I am not sure where you are coming from buddy?

Shae,

Did you try my implied method to track down the problem - saving just parts of the model until you run into a problem? Use the marquee or other method to select only part of the model for the 3D view and attempt the export until you can narrow down to a cut that works and a just-a-bit-bigger cut that doesn't ... and then figure out what was in the part that was added.

Shae,

Sorry If I misunderstood your remarks. Indeed English is not my native language and I perhaps didn't translate your post as I should have. I am living in the Netherlands. Out here we feed our children with different food...to prevent them from growing long toes.
Please don't HEY...BUDDY me while I was just trying to help.

Sorry again....
My last remarks in this topic.

Hi Sjaak,

Shae's response was actually restrained (expressing only frustration at both the bug, and being misunderstood) and friendly. "Hey buddy" is not an insult.

So, please, do give him some more of your time here or at the Artlantis forums. Clearly, there is a problem in the Abvent-written export add-on, so we need to help Shae in order to help our friends at Abvent create a better exporter.

Cheers,
Karl

In America "Hey, Buddy" is what you say when you want strangers to give you their coins.

I guess "help" in dutch means something different than it does in english, but then again I am just a stupid redneck.

Sjaak, Dwight, Karl (on the money) ottenstein, Merry Christ's Mass and have a happy new year. Cheers to all of you, for your help.

BTW Karl, I purged all my unused materials, and renamed them with a number designation, all 43 of them, and hail mary it worked!

I took some talking to, but dwight convinced me to drop the Hara-kiri knife and switch to scotch. It seemed to work!

Dwight needs to switch careers into "ledge" counseling! He is good at it!
