In Inside the ArchiCAD enviroment PhotoRendering Settings dialog is the common place of the render parameters.

...

Into the ArchiCAD plugin we integrated nearly all the available Maxwell parameters. It means you don’t have to go to Maxwell Studio to finalize your scene parameters you can do it directly inside ArchiCAD. 

This page describes all the different parameters that the ArchiCad plug-in ArchiCAD plugin adds to the UI. All Maxwell parameters are accessible from PhotoRendering Settings panel once Maxwell rendering engine is the active engine.

Please make sure Maxwell Render Engine is the current ArchiCAD render engine!

  • Export Directory: Select the folder location of Maxwell generated files(mxs, mxi, jpg, ...)

  • Scene name: Name of the MXS file the plug-in plugin generates.

  • 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:
  • Override Material: This option gives a quick foam core 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) 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.
