freedom 3ds...come usarle in artlantis?

[Mr.T]

Hello everyone! My name is tony and I do design and furniture! recently they gave me several library files in 3ds that I would like to use in artlantis, but the program does not recognize them as bookcases, to use them I should open each file one by one, and then export it as object of artlantis library! a crazy job!!! is there no way to do everything in batch? or a third party software that can transform the 3ds file, to artlantis library file? Can anyone help me?? :frown:
Thank you so much to all!

hello and welcome to the forum.
I don't know atlantis, but if this sw doesn't have a command in it to read "directly" 3ds library files (which would mean that atlantis asks you to select the folder/path of 3ds files) I see it hard ...

I think it's the dwg.

I am not updated to version 3, but I think you have to turn the 3ds into aof, I had heard that they had improved the management of the 3ds, but I never tried since I generally compose in archicad if I have to add something I do it in postproduction

 

[Mr.T]

currently to use a 3ds object I do this:
apro artlantis, I open and select a 3ds file and then save it in aof, at that point it becomes a file compatible with artlantis objects..... I need someone who knows a way not to do this workmanship with 4000 objects .... that maybe in batch can do this transformation instead of me....... But it seems to me how you say it's impossible:frown:

but does not even exist a way to use files in archicad? I design everything in archicad and then eventually to make the file pass in artlantis.... Help me:frown!! !

in archicad there is the way. you have to download one of the goodies from the graphisoft site, which is used to manage the 3ds

Would you give me some more info?? I usually use the archicad 11.... can you do even on this version or it takes a more recent archicad? and then that I have to try exactly to manage 3ds files?? ? Thank you!

I think it was there since 10. go to the help menu and click on goodies. send you to the graphisoft site where there is a list of freely downloadable free material
