Connectivity
Artlantis Studio combines the most advanced and efficient functions
for realistic simulation of hardware and lighting needed for any 3
dimensional project. Communicating directly with leading CAD
Architecture software, such as ArchiCAD, VectorWorks, SketchUp, AutoCAD,
Arc+, etc.
Artlantis Studio has the advantage of import functions for the main CAD
formats: DXF, DWG, 3DS, etc.

Direct Connectivity
ArchiCAD, VectorWorks and SketchUp, the major Abvent partners in the CAD Architecture world, export directly to Artlantis format. This direct link provides more complete and better quality data recovery than by going through a classic exchange format.
Main Formats
Artlantis imports the most commonly used 3D formats -- DXF, DWG or 3DS. It is worth noting that, for 3DS format files, Artlantis recovers certain data such as map textures and lights.
Use Reference File
The "Use reference file" function enables the user to make updates to
a project in the modeler without losing any of the data already entered
into Artlantis, regardless of the format selected.
