Hi D5 Team,
I have an issue with the post-processing/camera exposure. I linked a model from Archicad and even if I adjust the exposure or contrast it did not change anything in viewport. I tried change the hdri values also but it that didn’t work either.
Do you have any ide what the problem could be?
Thanks, in advance.

Hi varhidi.bence
You’re right, the commands seem to be blocked, but when you make changes to your image at that moment you visually see that the contrast does it, it’s not like you click on the image without regenerating, because the image returns to how it was before, I suppose this you know it. What makes me think is when you post the image with the changes and nothing happens. Do one thing, synchronize your project with D5 again, but before doing so save it in D5, and also check if you are connected, that is, if you are logged in to D5. Usually when you are not logged in D5 doesn’t work.
Hi Riccardo,
The syncronisation didn’t solve the problem. I uninstalled the D5 software and installed again. I updated the sync plugin also, but the issue is the same.
Just opened a project I saved a while ago and everything worked fine. Only in this scene, you can’t adjust anything in the effect panel.
Can you give me any more advice? Maybe install another Nvidia driver?
HI
If you are able to modify the effects in the other scenes, just copy the small image on the left and paste the scene onto the one that does not change, you will have the same effects as the scenes that are modified and you will see a dot at the top of the image small that is updated. In this way, when I modify a scene, I update it, then with the right mouse button I click on the small image and then gradually I update the others, always clicking on the images to be modified, pasting the scene. This is my suggestion
Let me know if it works
In this project the effects don’t work at all, in any of the scenes. Maybe I writed wrong, the effects works only other project.
If you start from scratch, by opening the opening D5 file, create the effects you want to modify and then synchronize it with the project, see what happens, whether it’s a matter of the graphics file or D5
I opened a new project and then the exposure adjustment worked and when I imported the model it could not be adjusted from that point.
When I dropped the imported model it was still working and when I pressed sync coordinates it stopped working.
Hello again
Maybe it’s the plugin that blocks your commands, it does something to make D5 not work well
Sorry, what program do you use for graphics?
Try installing a plugin older than the one you have and see if this does the same thing for you
I know you’re wasting a lot of time, but if your project is evolving, it’s best to finish it completely and do as I told you before if you said it works.
I am not a technician but a fellow ‘Architect’. I am trying to help you in other ways, to help you complete the work which is interesting, but you have to go around the obstacle to finish. Then in the future for other projects what happened to you needs to be found a solution, perhaps the one I indicated to you earlier.
Come on courage
Hi,
I tried another thing, I skipped the sync plugin and exported a Sketchup format from Archicad. Was the same result, the adjustments didn’t work. So I think it’s not the plugin’s fault, something with the model.
I sync other Archicad files with D5 and those worked well.
It is important that the synchronisation works. I work in a medium sized architectural firm and I am trying to work with d5 now because we want to help designers get a more realistic visualization than Archicad can do. They could check the versions of the plan while they work. So this would require synchronisation to work well.
Hello, I ran into this same problem the other day as well with a cad import to sketchup. The model was veryy far away from the origin 0,0 point as a lot of cads are. Try copying the whole model to a new file and place it at the origin 0,0 point in your workspace.
I also use Archicad and other programs too, you’re right in the end there is something that has corrupted the Archicad file, perhaps some object that you imported and put on the program file, maybe it managed to increase the megabaits. This happened to me too, but I solved it by deleting some objects and replacing them with those from D5, in this way the Archicad file worked well. I spent some time finding the solution, it was a restaurant in Germany, also published here on the site.
Hello again
Maybe it could be that colleague ‘aluther’ is right, it also depends on the position of the project, which usually always has to be the center 0.00 because some colleagues have had various problems. Only in this way did they solve it. 
Hi,
yes, that’s what I thought, but unfortunately the model is completely on the 0,0 point.
And another interesting thing, if the D5 is open, Ican move the Archicad model very slowly, almost not at all. While in other projects I can move smoothly and D5 follows the movement.
Then you give me confirmation that there is something very serious that bothers him. As I said an hour ago there was some object inserted with many knots and faces that make it up which weighs like megabaits, and you put several like a chair or a tree I have a car, in short as I showed you I had both plants and objects of the bar of my project that were weighing down the files. In this case you have to lighten it, even the Archicad files which usually contain some objects and mappings that are not included in the project. So you have to do a cleaning. As is usually done in Autocad or SKP, save it and see if the MB has decreased from the previous one. Or to hurry, copy your project and paste it into that of a brand new Archicad file, so you don’t carry the rubbish from before and save it, you’ll see that the MB is less. It didn’t end here. put the objects that may bother you on Layout with name and turn it off, then synchronize with D5 and see if it gives you the same problem, if all this goes well, make your images with the right settings. Then at the end you open the layers and synchronize. It is therefore rendered.
And God bless us
The copy and past in a new Archicad file solved the problem. But it would be nice to know what caused the problem.
I deleted in the faulty file all the assets but it didn’t help.
This copy and paste was a good tip in any case, thank you.
