![]() Now Graphisoft is pushing MaxonForm, which from my review of it, is still no formZ or even close, except for it's tight integration with ArchiCAD. I might be wrong, but OBJ is still alive AFAIR. DWG, DXF, and 3DStudio are no good for my needs. Don't know how many of these are of any use to get the model into ArchiCAD. lantis, DWG, DXF, FACT, IGES, Lightscape, Lightware, OBJ, RIB, SAT, Shockwave W3D, STL, 3DGF, 3DMF, VRML.Yep, if you want to use something, you should have it first The 3DS in is in the Goodies folder in your ArchiCAD installation (again, it is beyond me why the obviously necessary stuff like 3DS in, Profiler and Check duplicates is not loaded automatically) You do know how to load API AddOns, don't you?įrom formZ I can export the model in: 3DStudio, Art Or is there a plugin available like for 3DStudio? I assume I would have to own MaxonForm to do that. Not what i would consider very elegant or straight forward.Īny ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Of course I could import the info into an older version of ArchiCAD on a machine running System 9, then possibly bring that into the current version of ArchiCAD on my system with OS X. I use ArchiCAD for the architectural part of the design and bring in the timber frame as an object inserted into the model to produce construction details that include the timber frame. The entire frame is modeled and "assembled" in formZ. Each individual beam is modeled with all it's associated joinery, mortise & tenon joints, etc, even holes for the oak pegs. I've been using formZ to create a 3D model of the frame only of timber frame structures. dxf to try to bring in the 3D model from formZ has resulted in objects with triangulation lines covering the objects surfaces and is unacceptible. This option for bringing in formZ models has not been available in ArchiCAD for some time now. In years past ArchiCAD used to be able to read this file as an Object. FormZ for years has enabled exporting model info in a quickdraw format (3DMF or.
