Not able to Direct Link ArchiCAD 26 and TwinMotion 2021.1.4. I have downloaded the UnrealDataSmithArchiCAD exporter 5_0_3_v2

Hello Everyone,

I installed the Datasmith Plugin for ArchiCAD26 and am trying to import my ArchiCAD model in TwinMotion using the Import Direct Link Function. However, the nothing shows up in the 'Your Source' field. My ArchiCAD 3d Window is also open simultaneously, so I dont know why the Source field turns up empty. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you.

Hello ,

Thank you for posting in the community and sorry to hear about the troubles. You are using the correct plugin and I suspect you have more than one Archicad open and there are several sources to pick from. click on the (...) on the right of the source bar.

If that did not help, please check the cache directory for the Direct Link.

Click on the connections (plug) icon, located on the Datasmith Palette.Screenshot 2023-02-06 164611Screenshot 2023-02-06 164508
