This is the recommended thread for downloading, and posting any questions, suggestions or support queries for OctaneRender for ArchiCAD TEST and STABLE releases.

SOLUTIONS TO COMMON ISSUES

1) Make sure your NVIDIA drivers are up to date.

2) How do I extract the ArchiCAD 23 textures from the ArchiCAD 23 Library - 'File'->'Libraries and Objects'->'Extract a Container'. Select C:\Program Files\GRAPHISOFT\ARCHICAD 23\ARCHICAD Library 23\Surface Catalog 23.lcf to extract to Documents\AC23SurfaceCatalog. Then add the library to the Library Manager.


ArchiCAD Version
This version of the plugin runs on ArchiCAD 21, 22 and 23 - 64 bit Windows (Vista, 7, 8 and 10).

To use this version, you need a GPU of compute model 3.0 or higher. Support for Fermi GPUs (like GTX 4xx and 5xx) has been dropped. Also make sure you use a driver of version 451 or higher.

Network Rendering
For Network Rendering, you must use the Octane slave release from the Octane Standalone installer which matches the exact Octane version of the plugin you are using. This version matches OctaneRender Standalone 4.00.

Support Issues
If you have a support issue, pls provide the following information:
- Operating System (ie. Win XP, Vista, 7, 8)
- 32 or 64 bit
- Amount of RAM
- Graphics Card(s) - model (ie. GTX 580, 3GB)
- Nvidia driver version
- ArchiCAD version (ArchiCAD -> Help -> License Information -> Version and Build Number
- OctaneRender for ArchiCAD version (ie. 1.02a)
- In the unlikely event of a crash, pls provide the dump report from the C:\Users\[username]\Graphisoft\BugReporting-[version] folder (on Win 7). Either post or email (to "paul at physicalc-software.com") the "ArchiCAD-XXXXXX-FATAL.RPT" file from this folder.

For more information

- Post your question on this forum thread

Download Links

Once you save a .pla/.pln scene with the Octane 2020.1 or Octane 2020.2 versions of the plugin, you will no longer be able to open the OctaneRender plugin with that scene loaded in ArchiCAD with a plugin compiled with an earlier version of Octane.

Current TEST build (Octane 2020.2)


Current STABLE build (Octane 2020.1.5)

Hello Paul.
Can you check please for the latest version of 2020 XB3,
when I choose a beam element the materials are not shown ot the materials tab. It remains empty so I have to search for the material or use the pickup function.
This is not happening for the rest of archicad elements.

Thank you.

I suspect this has always happened. Are you able to check a previous version please? Also, you could try the solution for Curtain Wall objects detailed at https://docs.otoy.com/ArchiCADH/ArchiCADPluginManual.htm#ArchiCAD/Limitations.htm.
