hi, i'm having problems loading the *.lwa archives downloaded from the "www.lighworks-users.com" site.
Those archives are already in the "ArchiCAD 10\Add-Ons\Visualisation\smdata\archives" carpet, but the materials just does not load.
am i doing anything wrong, or just they does not works like that (in AC.V9, it works)

It's not you.

Most of them are not compatible with Archicad due to limitations in the way Archicad implemented Lightworks.

I also have downloaded a number of Lightworks archives. When I load them into the archives folder several layers down in the add-on folder I have no problem getting them to become available in AC 10. I know this sounds obvious, but you can only manipulate this in the materials dialog box. For a long time I tried to access them in the rendering dialog box. The only archives I have not had luck getting to work are the light studio objects. Any help on that?
