I just installed Archicad 24 for the purpose of evaluation.
Is there a method for importing c4d files into Archicad? I've tried searching the help menus and the forum but have not found anything helpful.
thanks,
Jeff

There used to be a Cinema 4D Exchange Add-On with which you could import C4D files, but I think it ceased to exist many versions ago, most probably because the CineRender Engine was incorporated into Archicad in version AC18:

So your best bet is to check which 3D file types Archicad can import/open, and see if you can save such a file format from Cinema 4D:

If you are using AC23 or previous you can find a free add-on from GRAPHISOFT here:

I hope that they will develop the AC24 version too, because it's even quite useful when you have to export and update your model in C4D.
