What is the reason for not adding the additional scene elements (trees etc) into the ArchiCAD scene, rather than further down the pipeline (in Octane Standalone)?

Archicad has BIG problem showing, navigating, redrawing scenes with great number of polygons and archicad is a BIM sogtware which means that archciad is aware of everything that you draw. You can anytime know everything about your project(quantities, sections, views,everything is there)....So when you start adding 3d models of trees, bunch of polygons which must be recalculated every time i move on my scene, open 3d window, section window etc....then archicad become pain in da asss...
Thats why they move final touch of visualization to artlantis...Archicad is not right tool for it
So its a MUST to create simple and effective way of adding 3d objects, UV mapping, texturing, scene in octane render for archicad plugin...
If you want this addon to become part of workflow....then you must help archciad users to finish scene... add objects, adjust textures, mappings in octane render.
I hope this helps
