How To Transfer From Archicad to Lumion


In order to do this, you must first install Google Sketch up.  Rather than to give you the link, I will tell you to please search for it in Google.  The reason for this is that you will find the latest version in this manner.

Install the program and it should automatically, create an option for you in your Archicad program which will allow you to "Save As" a sketch up extension.  

You will need to place your drawing in the 3d View in your Archicad Program in order to save it to Sketch up.  Make sure that all of your objects are properly designed so that you can manipulate them in Lumion.

Once your Sketch up file is completed, you can close Archicad and open your new file.  From Sketch up you will then need to save it into a collada file.  In order to do this you will also have to download another program; Google Earth.  Once saved. you can then open your Lumion program and start the fun.
