Modelport by AECobjects.com now available for ARCHICAD 19
If you already purchased Modelport for ARCHICAD 16-18:
For those of us with a license of Modelport already, AECobjects has recently released the add-on for ARCHICAD 19, which we get as a free upgrade. You can download it here. As far as I can tell, there are no changes to the previous ARCHICAD 18 version, other than that it now works in ARCHICAD 19. I’d of course love more features, but just having the add-on for 19 makes me happy-especially because I have some rendering to do over the next two weeks.
If you don’t own Modelport or don’t know what I’m talking about:
Here’s a link to a post I wrote a few months ago.
If you don’t know what Modelport is and want to know the ultra basics:
From my ArchiCAD resources page:
AECobjects (a division of ARCHIVISTA, inc) has Modelport, which is an add-on that will import OBJ, FBX, DAE, and 3DS files into ArchiCAD as Objects. “MODELPORTÂ uses the Autodesk FBX SDK, which is the same code used by Autodesk to create a bridge between their popular 3D software: Maya, Softimage XSI, 3DStudio MAX, etc.”

What about us that bought prior to AECobjects taking over distribution?

I have no idea. Download and find out? I didn’t need to re-enter my license number, so my hunch is that if you have a 1.1X version of Modelport, it’ll work regardless of who you bought it from.
