Unfortunately the update link for 4011 doesn't work right now. I can't check it.

What I see on your screen cap is that your camera lens type is changed to cylindrical, that is why it doesn't look normal.

When Studio opens the ArchiCAD file it shows the model double and in different views. It can be fixed in Studio by making a new camera and making that camera active. You can test this by switching back and forth between the ArchiCAD camera and the new camera.

I post this info here because I am not sure if it is an ArchiCAD bug or a plug-in bug. The plug-in does not work at all for Fire when I use it. ?

To test it open ArchiCAD place any 3D object - view in 3D use the add-on to open the view in Studio - Fire will display 2 images where there should be one, and those views don't match the camera.

- it is [semi]official so link is not accessible via ArchiCAD help. Update is mainly prepared for El Capitan users.

Links are correct but GS got some problems with servers, so there are temporary problems with download.
I got no problems - I don't use 4011 update with Maxwell Render 8) now.

Yes it works now thanks!

But I can not reproduce the problem here.

Could you send me a simplified file? Are you sure your Maxwell camera is not set to Cylindrical (in the Render Setting Dialog - MAxwell Camera panel)?

I can reproduce this little problem with any ArchiCAD default file and Studio Default settings.

Yes it was set to Cylindrical. Switching to thin lens in Studio will fix it. Is there any way to set the default for the plug-in to thin lens rather than Cylindrical so that using Fire to preview in ArchiCAD does not see double?

The default is thin lens. But maybe your template has been changed to cylindrical. So if you set it back to Thin Lens (in AC) next time it will probably be thin lens.

Was it just the camera problem or something else too?

That's it for the double image thing. Thanks for the help. For anyone who might come across this thread in the future, here is where the Settings in ArchiCAD are found. http://screencast.com/t/MOWK9oiU
