Hi Guys,

Wondering if there is any way we can do the modeling in archicad and still have organised nodes when exported to standalone version instead of a huge mesh? Thanks

The plugin originally loaded each ArchiCAD geometry item as a separate Octane Mesh - however this caused performance issues. It is common for AC scenes for have many hundreds (and I've seen case of multiple thousands) of scene elements, and each of these elements would have it's own Octane Mesh node - resulting in huge number of Octane Mesh nodes. This a little lot slower to load, and a little slower to render, you cannot find the Mesh node you want in Standalone.
