I model mostly in ARCHICAD. I set my model locations and sea level elevations exactly to the site GPS location to ensure accurate analysis results in my ARCHICAD workflow.
When I import / sync my model via the Direct Link to a new file in Twinmotion, the model is floating in mid air in Twinmotion.
Is there a way to set / change elevation of the imported model in Twinmotion?
Hi @**pbdarcey **I tried that, but selecting ERA-2019-14 only does not give me the “Gizmo” arrow icon to move the selected elemente as shown in this tutorial - https://youtu.be/o0rsrHlCCn8
Hi @**pbdarcey **I appreciate you coming back to try and help me out. This does not work for me. I do not get the editable “Gizmo” marker. And believe me I have zoomed out so far till the whole scene looks like a Tiny Planet. The DOT in the red circle is my model from a brand new import. This seems to be a consistent issue.
The reason you can’t move i think is because you are syncing. I export and then import into twin motion. I found that in Revit the direct sync wasn’t working and I found to have better success with export and then importing into twin motion.
Yes @**pbdarcey **I got feedback from Zack at support that they escalated the Z-value issue + repeated crashes when we use sync as bugs and will work to resolve it.
The Sync was great because all the work we do to update and set up textures, etc is maintained during sync.
When we use import or merge, we have to manually update all textures and setup. This takes a lot of time on a high end job to get it all right again after the model has changed.
We get spoiled in some way with the sync but with pressure on deadlines the sync saves a lot of valuable time. I really hope they can sort that out because it will bring us back into full production capacity for our clients.
