Description

Reported in SF [Link Removed]

With Datasmith Direct Link from Archicad, when adjusting the roof thickness for an imported roof any adjustments to the transform of the roof will not update on resync with Archicad, and only the roof thickness will update properly. The transform can only be properly updated by selecting 'Reset transform on selection' for the roof piece.

This does not appear to occur with all roof properties. When testing by adjusting the Roof Pivot Height and Pitch in Archicad, the transform was properly updated on resync.

Steps to Reproduce

Download client files from [Link Removed]

  1. Open the Archicad and Twinmotion models
  2. Re-establish Direct Link with Archicad model
  3. In Archicad, select one of the roof elements
  4. Modify the roof thickness and adjust the position of the roof
  5. Synchronize Direct Link

Result: The roof thickness will properly adjust in Twinmotion, but the roof transform will not update properly. The transform will only update after resetting transform manually from the import menu.

Workaround
Select the roof piece in the Twinmotion Viewport or Scene graph and then select 'Reset transform on selection' from the Archicad model's thumbnail in the Import Dock.
