I'm not sure the level of integration you are seeking Tou, but if all you need is to get an Archicad model into Radiance for rendering/analysis, I'd assume you could save your model as a DXF file and use dxf2rad to convert it into a Radiance scene description. If you're looking to preserve materials or uv mappings, I'm pretty sure there are other methods that will preserve at least some of that, but that's out of my depth. HTH.

A web search for "archicad radiance" produces useful results, including the following links:
http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/radiance/archicad2rad/
http://www.schorsch.com/rayfront/manual/archicad2rad.html
It is not clear what the state of this tool is with respect to the most current versions of Archicad. But it is a starting point. There are probably other possibilities depending on what Archicad can export (eg dxf or 3ds).

Hi!
As far as I remember you can use 3ds and obj output with Archicad,
I did this some time ago. The problem with Archicad is that it
tends to give you VERY detailed models, as every single element
(a door, a window, ..) consists of lots of geometry.
Maybe you should try it if you have a small project, with
larger ones, I would try to reduce the scene geometry.
Good luck, CU, Lars.
(BTW: You can export obj and 3ds when you are in the 3d-window...)

Hi,
I've looked at my old projects... the one I exported from Archicad
was written as 3ds, then converted to mgf and from there to rad. As
you get triangles with 3ds, and as Archicad produces a lot of
geometry (that's because it follows an approach using building
elements, which are predefined with all details and then modified).
I got quite large scene files (my geometry in radiance format .rad
took about 50MB). I am not sure if the detail settings you can do
in Archicad just change the view or also the geometry that is
exported. You might try to import your 3ds into a pure modeller
and reduce details here (I love to use formZ for radiance scenes,
you can even export dxf then and import your simplified scene
as dxf than with dxf2rad).
As you see, you must decide wether you want to do some extra
work and get some "optimized" model into radiance, e.g. if you will
do a lot of rendering later, or if you simply want some nice images
and use the "brute force" method simply importing the geometry
from Archicad, and using a fast machine with lots of memory... I
always do some work on geometry before I import into radiance
just because I have a 128MB laptop here, so maybe all this is
no problem for you.
CU, Lars.
