Using Reference Files

NB: For ArchiCAD 13 to 17 users, when you export to Artlantis, you have the option of exporting the geometry according to the ArchiCAD layers. In Artlantis' Objects Inspector, the ArchiCAD layers will be listed in the Layers tab. If you do not want to export the geometry in multiple layers but in a unique layer only, check Unique layer in the export dialog box.

NB: ArchiCAD, Revit, SketchUp and VectorWorks export directly to the Artlantis ATL format. If you do not have the export plug-in for one of the programs, you can download it at: www.artlantis.com/download/update
