Unfortunately, because I am only testing these programmes out, I have limited ability to export/import. Generally, this has worked fine apart from the odd file like ARTLPOOL11.skp which it struggles to open. When I downloaded the Artlantis, I also downloaded the sketchup plugin with it so that the Artlantis can read the skp files directly - without need to import/export etc. The original skp file (ARTLPOOL11.skp) works fine in Sketchup - no problems at all. When the Artlantis starts up it says the version is "V.4.0.16.0" I am new to both Sketchup and Artlantis so I am using the Free Sketchup8 and the evaluation version of Artlantis Render.

I've exploded the model and ensured the faces are the right way round.Īny advice would be appreciated. My hardware spec is as it should be so I don't think it's that. I've probably made a rookie error somewhere but I've searched the forums and online help and can't seem to find an answer. I thought I'd give an internal render a go and now I've come up with this little glitch. I have easily produced a render of a building we are about to construct without any issues. I am getting on fine with them and I'm really impressed with how intelligent and easy to use Artlantis is. I am new to both sketchup and Artlantis and am currently using the evaluation programme for both. The file with the circles refuses to load in Artlantis but the file where I have changed them to square shapes loads fine. I have two sketchup files which are identical except in one I have the circles on the ceiling and in the other I changed them to square shapes.

Through trial and error I noticed it came down to some circles I had placed on the ceiling (they are push/pulled and there to later represent light positions). Occasionally the Artlantis render 4 programme I am using won't load my sketchup 8 file.
