Hi there!
I have applied a mxm material in archicad and it renders fine. The material is "plaster" from arroway material collection. The problem is i cant see a texture of this material in archicad window. It shows only white.
Uploaded with
ImageShack.us
is it something wrong?
best regards

Unfortunaly Archicad can't read the texture from maxwell material and aply it to the 3d window. You have to load it manually on the texture tab.
I hope that in the next update already with preview for v16 this will be fixed...
Cheers!

Thanks for quick reply,
Is it possible to attach object proxies in AC? like here:

As long as you don't use real measures in maxwell (meters) the size of textures in AC will change the size in mxm material.
As for the camera issues it is still an issue to resolve...
2.7.1 is powerfull, but it will be huge with tech preview for AC16!
Cheers!

Texture: Unfortunately currently you have to apply the texure (from mxm material) to your ArchiCAD material manually. I was thinking about to make it automatic, but haven't found solution yet.
Proxy Object: Yes, you can use proxies. Click on the button on the right side of the Maxwell Palette, and you will see the Proxy Manager. First you have to load the proxy scene "Load MXS", and after that you can place the Proxy objects with the "Add Proxy item" button, or as a normal library object from the ArchiCAD object manager.
