Blender&Archicad - New model instead of updated one

Hi @GiulioMarsano,

When receiving in Blender, the receive will not remove or edit your existing blender geometry. Instead, it will behave similar to a file import, and create new geometry from the received file.

We do however see the need for us to implment an Update mode like you suggest. It’s something that’s been requested before, but there is several technical challenges for us to overcome before we can offer this.

To clarify your comment on this, I would expect that UV mapping is preserved IF there were no changes to the receiving object.
i.e.

  1. You receive Archicad model in Blender
  2. UV unwrap a wall
  3. Send a new Version from Archicad, with some objects changed (not the wall)
  4. Re-receive the new version, UVs should not have been removed unless the wall was changed in Archicad.

If this is not the case, then please can you share with me the Archicad file and links to the Speckle models so I can investigate the problem here. This would help us identify any bugs and/or help us design a better solution for future.
