How to Import OBJ Objects to Archicad

Sep 28, 2024

If you're an architect or a designer using Archicad, you may want to enhance your projects with 3D models created in other software. One common file format for 3D models is OBJ, and importing OBJ objects to Archicad is a relatively straightforward process. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the steps to import OBJ objects to Archicad and make the most of 3D modeling in your architectural projects. Here's how to do it:

1. Prepare Your OBJ Object: Before importing the OBJ object into Archicad, ensure that your 3D model is properly created and saved in the OBJ file format. You can use various 3D modeling software such as Blender, 3ds Max, or Maya to create and export your OBJ object.

2. Open Your Archicad Project: Launch Archicad and open the project where you want to import the OBJ object. Make sure you are in the 3D window or the floor plan view where you want to place the 3D model.

3. Use the File > File Special > Merge Command: In Archicad, navigate to the top menu and select 'File > File Special > Merge' to initiate the OBJ import process. This command allows you to merge external 3D models into your Archicad project.

4. Locate and Select Your OBJ File: A dialog box will appear, prompting you to locate and select your OBJ file. Navigate to the directory where your OBJ object is saved, select the file, and click 'Open' to import it into Archicad.

5. Adjust Import Settings: After selecting the OBJ file, you may be presented with import settings options such as scaling, orientation, and origin. Make sure to review and adjust these settings as needed to ensure the proper placement and orientation of the imported 3D model within your Archicad project.

6. Place and Edit the Imported Object: Once the OBJ object is imported, you can place it in the desired location within your project and further edit its properties using Archicad's 3D modeling tools. You can also apply materials, textures, and other visual enhancements to the imported 3D model to integrate it seamlessly into your architectural design.

By following these steps, you can successfully import OBJ objects to Archicad and leverage the power of 3D modeling in your architectural projects. Whether you're adding furniture, fixtures, or intricate details to your designs, importing OBJ objects can bring a new level of depth and realism to your Archicad projects. Experiment with different OBJ models and explore the creative possibilities that 3D modeling offers within Archicad.
