Oct 11, 2012 Hello, Im a third year archi student and am trying to export a file from archicad 16 to sketchup 8 pro. I have save my file in archicad into.skp and it. Download Artlantis. ARCHICAD 18 to Artlantis 6. Autodesk Revit. Heroes Chronicles Platinum (8 In 1) more. SketchUp Pro 2018 to Artlantis 6.5.

Dear Forum Members, are there any ArchiCAD users amongst you? I need an advice on the model transfer ArchiCAD >IFC >Sketchup. Fiat Ecu Scan Crack on this page. Killing Floor Map Pack V2 more. Eventually we need a gbXML-style geometry for our Energy Analysis tool (Archiphysik).

We are engineers, and not architects, but most of our partners work in ArchiCAD. There is a direct plugin for Archiphysik, but it is for now too complicated to implement this kind of connection (we are a small lab and work with different architects all the time) So there are two opportunities: • either we import a 3d DWG and try to delete all the unnecessary elements (too long!) • or we import IFC and delete the unnecesassy components there. Now the problem with the DWG option is that we have thousands of little elements: like handrails, which are hard to select in SU. But here we can set the option to merge coplanar faces, which helps to avoid splitting the flat faces into triangles. In the IFC we can select the components, which are neatly grouped, but then if we go down to a single wall, it is represented with multiple triangles again My guess is that there must some options of IFC export in ArchiCAD, which would help to avoid this kind of surface splitting. Any guess on the latter?

Option 3 would be to export directly from Archicad to SketchUp (works from the 3D window in Archicad). The Archicad IFC exporter has multiple configuration options, so trying a different one might help, depending on what was used in the model you got. The triangulation might be a “feature” of the SketchUp importer. I don’t see visible triangulation when viewing Archicad-exported IFC models in Solibri or BimSight. Of course, triangles are behind all on-screen 3D computer graphics. At heart, Archicad is a surface modeller like SketchUp and unlike Revit.

Hey Anssi, thank you for your quick response! Yes, my idea was to ask if anyone already tried different IFC exporter options and what was the result. They have pretty good guidance on the help page But I do not have ArchiCAD at hand and can not really experiment with it at the moment. Direct IFC import in SU is a new feature of the 2016 version (as far as I know), so yes, I think the problem occurs there. I did not know that there is the direct export to Sketchup from ArchiCAD, since in my architectural days I was mostly working with Revit. Hence, my knowledge of Archicad is pretty basic. But I expect that the result might be similar to what happens with DWG: all the ArchiCAD elements are exploded.

Meanwhile what I liked about IFC is that hierarchy and grouping of the elements is preserved, which means I can navigate through the model easier. Hey John, was trying out your script (first one in the list for coplanar edges). For now the SU simply gets stuck on the way and never comes back to life. The model is relatively big, two buildings in one file, the resulting SU file size is circa 50 MB. On top of that not sure if I am allowed to share the model - it belongs to architects, with whom we are working. I will experiment with simplier IFCs to test how it works. (edit) works perfectly with the simple model.
