Like going Modo only, without the nice CAD and parametrical BIM Modeling.

Without Exchange it is often better to renounce of the benefits of the one or otherĪpp and work more limited - but in a single App only, without conversion efforts Or add Modifiers - and don't want to lose that work and have to redo everything You will edit Materials/Mapping, Object Organization, even edit Geometry (Which later showed also some other benefits for my Archviz anyway)īeside using Visualization Workflow enhancements, higher levelĬameras, Lights and Library items than what VW RW offers in 3D Render AppĪdditively, which is not the problem for Updates, That is why since VW I had to ditch my beloved Modo and had to go with I have sent 2 emails and posted on their forum asking for more info on the VW 2018 / 2019 compatible add-on for Artlantis 7 with no responses in weeks.Įven a one-direction Exchange like to C4D is so much more worth thanĪ standard Export, even if it would be lossless. It feels dishonest to me since I paid to upgrade to Atlantis 7 on the basis they had an Artlantis 7 add on for 2018. I find this troubling, especially on their website they describe the add-on for 2018 as Artlantis 6.5 and 7. They are unsure about Vectorworks 2019 to Artlantis 7. I have found that some wall component classes from VW aren't transposing properly to Artlantis 7 through the 6.5 route.Īrtlantis has stated in their forum that they will not be providing an update to the 2018 exporter for native Artlantis 7. Plus when you make changes to your Vectorworks model and want to updated the Atlantis file, it again will only export as a 6.5 and your working file is now a Artlantis 7 file.

Of course you can open an Artlantis 6.5 file in 7 but I do not know if there are enough differences between those two releases to cause problem. When you download the latest add on from Artlantis, it natively only exports to Artlantis 6.5. As being someone who dabbles in Artlantis, I had recently found out that Artlantis 7 is not totally compatible with Vectorworks 2018, as there is no exporter provided by Artlantis that exports from Vectorworks 2018 to Artlantis 7.
