As long as it works, it is as integrated as we can hope for (that is, except for the menu positions, but that is Graphisoft-policy: Add-Ons can't modify the interface).Stefan wrote:But still it is outside Archicad and in German. I don't care about this, but this is still walk around, not solution.
UV-mapping import is supported in the 3ds-import add-in[...]
Miki wrote:Yes. But exporting is meant to be used in other software. I often pass through 3ds max when I want to export ArchiCAD files to somewhere else, even when exporting to VRML, since I have more control in max about it.Stefan wrote:
Remove double vertices in export? When I export a model to 3ds max, I can do that there.
Of course, but that is one more step to do.
Miki wrote:You are right that some programs don't like polygons with more then three vertices, but ArchiCAD does triangulate it's geometry before exporting. Otherwise you won't see any geometry at all in these packages.Stefan wrote:Actually polygons can have much more than 3 vertices. You say polygon but you think face. Polygon can have a lot of faces. What is a problem is that some 3D packages don't support polygons with more than 4 vertices (ex. blender) triangulation (converting all polygons with more than 3 vertices to polygons with 3 vertices) can solve that problem.
Triangulation? All exported models are triangulated (that is, cut into triangles).
