Are file format conversions

Claire, Interior Designer • 2019

I'd like to be able to use the Delta Bath Trinsic FG559LF in Maya, so I need a .obj or .fbx file. Is there any way to get one of these formats?

Claire, Interior Designer

Thanks for getting back to me Liz! I wonder if anyone knows if it's even possible to convert to one of the formats I need. I don't have much experience in this specific arena. Can a Revit file be conveted to an .obj or .fbx? Is it even possible? 1 More Answer

Revit Family Opening - Error

mahboobfacet • 2013

I was working on a revit family yesterday and this morning, when I opened the file. I have the error - "Attempted to access ''FileName.rfa'' past its end".

Your file is corrupt, and this is one of the worst errors to see since there is nothing you can do to restore it. You can try to send the file to Autodesk to recover, but it probably won't work. Your best bet is to rely on the latest back-up that will open successfully, and continue from there. If you don't have a back-up, you must start over...

I've just download a file called "THEEW-EDNA" which is a chair 3D model, via your website. When I open the .gsm downloaded, it asks me a password. Can you give me it please? Thanks,

Scott, Architect

Hi Marion, that normally happens when you try and open the ArchiCAD GSM file directly, as the manufacture protects the script (so you can't edit the chair's form). To use it please add it to your product via ArchiCAD's library manager.
