All the geometry and all the layers are transferred perfectly. My problem now is, that no instance, group or component is obtained. Everything is now a 'slurry' of surfaces and lines.

Is there is no way to export ArchiCad to SKP, and still keeping the groups or instances? Since you are using ArchiCAD, I would appreciate any hint. Regards An obvious but tedious solution to your problem would be to export multiple isolated components of your model into Archicad. You can find plugins to export all components to a folder.

New features for ArchiCAD 16. SketchUp is a great 3D modeling software because it allows user to add plugins. We review the top 10 best SketchUp plugins. Plugins archicad 15-16-17-18-19-20. It works fine with Sketchup plugin but with Archicad it doesn't work. But ArchiCAD plugin still doesn't work I mean.

The problem will be inserting them in the correct place inside your model. ArchiCAD to SketchUp - Just for your information. Meanwhile, I have received a DWG export from ArchiCAD. The first conspicuous behavior is that the exported SKP file sice was about 100 MB, the exported DWG file sice of the same model content was only about 10 MB.

For this sice not even DropBox was necessary, that could be sent by email. The model groups or model components have been preserved, which made it at least possible to work with this file. Unfortunately, almost all surfaces are triangulated, which would mean a huge amount of cleaning. (This triangulation effect did not occur in the previous SKP Export) Although there are only a few types of windows, which are recognized by SkUp as a component, it brought no advantage, since all (same) components are numbered now - such as Window 01, Window 02, etc. Com Files Msjavx86 Execution. Overall - I could work with this file, but I could use it in first place just as a template.

Is View >Hidden Geometry ON? All faces must have edges around them, although those edges can be 'hidden' [or smoothed if part of a 'surface'], or edges can be on OFF layers that are different from the faces' [not recommended!], or edges can be set to be not displayed under a Style, or they can have the same material as the face with the Style's display set to render edges by material, or your materials might be set to display by Layer rather than the usual assigned materials? Any of these might result in you not seeing edges - but they will be there if you search.
