Use the Surface Model option if you are using the exported ARCHICAD model for reference-model purposes (e.g. Thus, to retain all the surface colors of a multi-color ARCHICAD element, it will be exploded into multiple elements – each with a different color – in Rhino. Note: Although a single ARCHICAD element can have a different color for each surface, a single Rhino element can have only one color for all surfaces. Each multi-color ARCHICAD elements must be exploded into several Rhino elements. Click Options in the Save as dialog box to access additional options:Ĭhoose this if you want the ARCHICAD element surfaces to retain their original colors in Rhino. From the 3D window, use File > Save as Rhino 3D Model (.3dm) to export part or all of the ARCHICAD model to Rhino.Ģ.

Mapping of AC textures is not supported.ġ. properties, tags, schedule data, quantities, etc.) are not transferred. Relevant element attributes (surface color, texture) and the original ARCHIAD layer structure and grouped elements are retained. In Rhino, ARCHICAD elements are distinct, selectable elements. An ARCHICAD model exported to Rhino transfers geometrical information only, because Rhino handles only this type of data.
