Topic: [Resolved] Archicad to Lumion Bridge

[deebee75]

Having troubles with the Archicad to Lumion Bridge in Archicad 20.  It isn't recognising the program.  See picture attached.  Any ideas?

Hi deebee75

The modified date on the plugin file does not look correct.  Please delete the apx file, and re-download and install the apx again from ARCHICAD TO LUMION plugin page.

Does that fix the problem?

Hi Peter,

No it didn't

Hi DB

Hmmm.  And it's not listed already in the Plugin Manager, and not listed in Export formats in SaveAs when a 3D View is open?

Try the attached apx (just in case).

If still not working, then it may have something to do with your Edu version of ArchiCAD, however not aware of any issues or reports of it not working with the Edu version.  So, I'll need to check with our Import/Export developer Tuesday earliest EU time.

Are you able to work on other things in meantime?

The other export option is to SketchUp, then import that file direct to Lumion.

It worked!  Not sure why the other two files didn't work.   I wanted to learn Lumion because we are apparently getting the educational version next semester and as we have rendering due on Tuesday I wanted to have a play.  I did think perhaps it was because it was a Education Version of Archicad. 

Thanks - great service!
DB.

Great news.  Good to hear it's sorted. 

Enjoy Lumion.

I downloaded the addons of ArchiCAD to Luminon. But, I export 3D to Lumion. The Lumion does not read this file. The extension of File is Lumion Collada File (.dae). I use the Lumion version is 6.5.1. Why didn't Archi CAD File?

My computer is Core i&-6500U 2.5 GHz. Memory is 4 GB. Why?
