Hi there,

Have anyone tried to import a Archicad file into shapr3d, continue design works and export back into Archicad?

Hi Katy, I know you can share your sketches from Archicad with the app in DWG/DXF format and also share 3d designs in STL format.

The STL format being an output format it’s a great practice will be to convert the file to the STEP(a better editable format) format using FreeCad before importing in into the app:
