Artlantis Ribbon Menu
Artlantis Ribbon Menu
Contains the commands for managing documents (opening, saving, reverting, closing, using a reference file, merging, license, preferences, information and quit).
Quick access to a list of recently used files.
Artlantis Document opens .atl, the native file format of Artlantis, .atla, the archive file format and .atlo, the object file format of Artlantis.
Artlantis Object Document opens .atlo or an older .aof object file format of Artlantis.
Merge Geometry from File merges the current file with another file: atl, atla, atlo, aof, 3ds, dwf, dwg, dxf, fbx, obj and skp*.
Import File opens files in the following formats: 3ds, dwf, dwg*, dxf*, obj and skp.
*SketchUp version from 5 to 2015.
**AutoCAD versions 2015 and earlier.
NB: Since ArchiCAD 16, 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 rather in a unique layer only, check Unique layer in the export dialog box.
NB: To use files from Media Artlantis 4 and earlier versions, you will need to convert them into the new Artlantis file formats atls (Shaders) and atlo (Objects). Please use the Artlantis Media Converter program available in the Artlantis 6 folder. The older file format opt/db is no longer supported.
Ctrl O.
Saves the current Artlantis document to your file system.
Ctrl S.
NB: Saved documents will no longer be compatible with earlier versions.
Artlantis Document: Saves the current file as a new .atl document. The new file becomes the active document.
Artlantis Archive Document: The .atla file contains the Artlantis project with all its dependent Media.
Artlantis Object Document: Saves the current file as an object. An .atlo file and a jpeg file are generated with all its dependent Media Shaders and images.
The .atlo file contains the Artlantis object with all its dependent Media, whereas the jpeg file is the preview file seen in the Catalog. Leave these two files side by side. If one file is missing, the object will not be displayed in the catalog and will not be recognized by Artlantis Media Manager.
NB: A scene cannot be saved as an Artlantis Object when the current document already contains an object.
Other Document: Exports the geometry of the current document in dwf, obj skp or tma file format.
Note: tma file format is read with Twinmotion 2016 from version updated in 2016-02.
Reverts to the saved version of the document.
Closes the document. A dialog asks you if you would like to save changes.
Recovers all or part of the elements from different .atl and .atla files into the current file. Can be used to import Shaders, Lights, Heliodons, Objects and Cameras from the viewpoints.
