For windows users: change the extension .dll to .apx and put it in the add-on/import export directory
If archicad don't see it you must charge it with the add-on manager

P.

P.S: .dll --> .apx Image

In that studio 3d view do you notice that the grid as well as the north point is actually running vertically? Why is that?

I opened "material " and eliminated the texture..and it works...

I could make it work with a single slab with "general material"....if there's anything more complex in the scene, it gives me one of the above error messages and fails. the material change did not solve the complexity problem. could someone from NL give us some hints?

Like rendek says...

i think the problem is about complexity...

I have some projects without textures ... and has the same problem
