  • Protect Geometry: Enable this option to protect the exported geometry so that it cannot be re-exported from Maxwell Studio in OBJ format.

  • Geometry Scale: You can scale up or down the ArchiCAD geometries during the export process. Value 1.0 means the exported items will have the same size what they have in ArchiCAD. Value 2.0 meas scale up by 2 and 0.001 is the same as 1:1000.

  • Override Material: This option is a more flexible version of the previous foam material feature. Renders with simplified material setup can be very useful to study shadows and light. It has three modes:
    • Disabled:  This is the default mode, the plugin doesn't apply overwrite material.
    • All: Opaque onlycore looking render to study shadows and light values, without having the burden of remapping materials. All materials are assigned a generic white (RGB 242,242,242) It is the same as the Override Material setting in Studio, all the geometries are rendered with the same override material. You can choose override material if you click on the ... button.
    • Opaque: All materials are assigned the chosen overwrite material except transparent materials, which keep their glass materials.

  • Command Line: Additional command line parameters of Maxwell render (MXCL) can be specified here. Please see the Command Line page for more details.

The position of the sun in ArchiCAD's 3D projection settings is used for rendering.

Unique parameters of the plugin:

  • Resolution: The plugin can set the resolution of the rendered image according to:
    • ArchiCAD 3D window size - this is very good if you want to render what you see inside the 3D window.
    • Render Size
  • Film fit:
