Hello,
I have a problem with archicad export plugin , I cannot export to artlantis. I get the error 'cannot write output file'.I tried to rename all my materials and layers to not have characters like /\* etc. but nothing changed. I Have made a complex model in archicad, with many gdl objects I created using the archicad tools and saved them as gdl library parts. For some reason artlantis export plugin dont like these gdl objects and give me error. If I not load my gdl library objects ,the model exports fine, but When I add these objects in the archicad I get error.I tried to load every single object in the library one by one, but all of them produce the same error. Also inside archicad those gdl objects are fine and I am not getting any script gdl errors from them. Please tell me what can I do to export the complete model in artlantis?
thanks

Hi George,
What version of ArchiCAD and Artlantis are you using?
Anyway, it seams that Artlantis may have a problem during the conversion process and it's difficult to tell you what could be the reason.
I suggest you to open a ticket in the free Support Center and send us one of those GDL library parts you think could cause the problem.

Since you know about the special characters, I can tell that you have read the threads in ac-talk and here that concern material and texture names.
Some GDL objects create their own materials, so I suspect this is might be the problem. It is very unlikely that it is a geometry problem - unless there are some zero-height 3D objects, which might be an issue.
If all of your library parts were created using AC tools, then they would contain the names of materials at the time that they were created - and thus, if you renamed your materials after object creation, that won't help the library parts. You might have to edit them individually to fix the problem.
If indeed the model exports fine when none of your objects is loaded, but fails when just one is loaded, please post a zip of one of your objects here, or PM me on ac-talk and I'll look at the object to see if I can see what the problem is.
As Ildiko noted, now that Artlantis 3 and ArchiCAD 13 are out, it is important to state what versions of each you are using.

Please try the following: open an empty file in AC 12, create a very small model (only some walls and slabs) and try the export it. Please let us know if it works.
I also had this problem exporting from AC 12 and AC13. I had the problem tring to export in Artlantis 2.0 and 3.0 formats. I found out a workaround: save a copy of your ArchiCAD file project as a .PLA and then try to export it. It works for me every time. Hope it works for you.
