I am having a strange problem with exporting to DWG.In one version of a file, I can export fine with the "03 For as is output" translator. It works and all the colours come through correctly. In a more recent version of the file - with a lot of new d...

I have a file which came in through a Revit hotlink. All the objects have arbitrary IDs but have a property with the Revit family name which, in most cases, would make a good ID. I thought the obvious way to sort this is export properties to excel, c...

Looks amazing! And what Archicad should do out of the box. Can it deal with corners yet or would you just use it separately on each plane of the wall?

I'm not quite sure if it fits in this subject, but there seems to be some information about composites that is not available for scheduling. In particular, a skin list label can generate a list of the skins. I would love to have this in a schedule of...
