Hey Guys,
I would love to use Datasmith in my everyday workflow but i’ll get lots of errors in UV’s and lightmaps. Morphs seem to be a unsolvable riddle for datasmith. Is this still on the list or is the datasmith plugin for ArchiCAD considered production ready ?
Hi Fuchx !
Can you give us examples of UV and lightmap issues you have with the plugin ?
Most of the standard UV features of ArchiCAD should be supported, but the plugin is always getting improved.
We’d be happy to have a look at your files/problems and find a fix.
Cheers,
Antoine
Hi Antoine,
i have often problems with objects of the integrated library. For Example you cannot import smoothing groups. All library objects have hard edges compared to the original model in ArchiCAD. Many objects have flipped faces. Most of the time generated UVs getting black faces/missing faces after lightbaking.
Ill get all of these errors with morphs too. Most of the time im remodeling the parts over and over again until it works somehow. It´s hard because ArchiCAD has no tols for UV-Editing.
