William Ong Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Hi! all VW11.01 user, I have a little problem here to export the VW11.01 file to cinema4d.Do VW have exchange plugin for cinema4D? Quote Link to comment
alanmac Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 As you know you'll need the plugin as well as both programs. You'll need to insert the relevant files in both VW and Cinema plug in folders, and adjust your workspace in VW to see it as a export option. This is available from Maxon not Nemetschek, either direct or via country based Maxon dealership. It's not free, you will have to pay for it unless you purchased the package Cinema 4D for Vectorworks which of course has the the plug in CD included along with the Cinema program discs.

Guest Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 You need to get the C4D plugin for VW 11 to export to C4d. Quote Link to comment
alanmac Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 No you don't use dxf or dwg with the plug in, that's the purpose of the plug in. To convert the Vectorworks file into a Cinema 4D file with all its relevant classes etc so as to use it in Cinema and to be able to update your file from VW should you need to without loss of existing work done in Cinema such as lighting textures etc. You could go the dxf route without the plug in by creating a dxf file from your VW one and then opening it in Cinema but I don't know how well that would work and you'd lose the chance to alter the file if need be without having to start again. As Katie and I said you need the plug in from Maxon, which you can buy easily enough. Quote Link to comment
William Ong Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 Thanks Katie & Alanmac for the advise.So where to get download for the exchange plugin vs VW11.01 software? Quote Link to comment
alanmac Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Go to the Maxon web site and look through the pages that will give you what you need to know, its easy enough. http://www.maxon.net/index_e.html I'm starting to feel a little uneasy about your line of questioning because if you purchased Cinema or Vectorworks the dealer you brought it from should know this and help you out.
