Import the new models into D5 Render to start real-time rendering
When a model file needs to be modified during rendering, start sync to create a connection with the original model or replace it with the new model
Import ArchiCAD models into D5 Render by Sync feature without exporting d5a
Model/Material/Scene Sync
After the current model has been edited in ArchiCAD, quickly sync the new model and materials to D5 Render by the Sync button, while keeping the materials and scene parameters that had been adjusted in D5 Render
Sync the scene list in ArchiCAD to D5 Render
View Sync
Keep the view of ArchiCAD and D5 Render consistent in the horizontal direction
Support one click to turn view sync on or off
Light Sync
ArchiCAD model light sources synchronization
ArchiCAD light sources synchronization
Synchronization of light source types (point light, spotlight, strip light, rectangular light), positions, sizes (for rectangular/strip light). Other parameters of light sources are not supported for synchronization and should be configured within D5 Render.
Export d5a files
ArchiCAD files can be imported D5 Render by converting to .d5a files through D5 Converter
Known Issues & Solutions
In the event of an upgrade or synchronization failure, stop the anti-virus software and reinstall D5 Render and Sync (replace the installation, no need to uninstall it)
Hi mate, sorry, not yet. Please try exporting .skp from Archicad solo then opem them in D5. The live sync plugin for now still does not support AC 26 solo.
I was decided to get D5 this month, but now that I’m changing to Archicad 27 SOLO, I think that will take a year to D5 update the sync, based on this topic. I don’t want to use Enscape my friends.
Thanks Oliver, for architects like me that work alone, D5 is the best solution in quality and price, and the same applies to Archicad Solo versions, that have more affordable price. Hope you can do this, even a more simple exporter could solve this problem at the moment.
Hi, is there a way to relink, sync a model from a different AC file, the project in AC went from pln. to teamwork project, so it is the same model on the same place in the file it is just a different AC file? Can I relink the source file of a model in D5 from which I’m syncing the model to keep everything I did in D5 and just keep sync from a different AC file?
I found the solution myself, you just click start D5 from AC and if the file is already open in D5 it asks you if you want to replace the model that was previously synced.
i have installed arcicad 27 full aut version, d5 renderer and d5 sync plug in successfully installed, but cannot find the d5 menu in archicad , also cannot find it in the archicad addons and so on… any advice ?
Hi there sorry for the inconvenience and late response, can you check if the file directory of the d5 converter is similar to this photo? It should be on that file location. Let me know if this helps. Thank you.
Hello D5 team! You have been supporting synchronization with Archicad for a long time. But you still haven’t implemented synchronization by layers? And as a result, I can’t make phase animation? Maybe it’s time to fix this? It’s high time!
