Limitations
- If there are multiple GDL materials in the scene which have the same material name, these materials will all be treated as one single Octane material.
- picker does not work for Curtain Wall objects (go into edit mode to get materials for these elements)
- The ArchiCAD Perspective camera roll angle is not transposed to the Octane thinlens “up” pin. If you need to rotate the render, manually adjust the “up” vector.
- Image map rotation is not current supported by OctaneRender, so any rotation of texturemaps in ArchiCAD materials is ignored in the texture conversion to Octane.
- Axonometry views are not supported. For orthographic renders, use a Perspective camera, and enable the “orthographic” pin on the “camera” node in the Settings Tab of the plugin.
- The Octane “checks” node does not work correctly on slanted surfaces. Use a texture map instead.
- Navigating an ArchiCAD via the “Explore” options does not work while the Octane Viewport is open.
- Due to a bug in ArchiCAD, after you exit to setup window, you can not re-select that ArchiCAD object unless you move the camera, or switch to a 2d view
- Proxies will only render when using the OctaneRender Viewport. They will not render when using the ArchiCAD Photorender Projection
- ArchiCAD Surface names should be 30 characters or less. This is because the ArchiCAD API only returns the first 30 characters of a surface name.
