Please adapt this information to your ArchiCAD version until we provide more specific guides. **Note:** At the moment, PBR materials from Archicad are not supported in *Lumion View* or Lumion Pro via *LiveSync*, as this workflow requires compatibility with Maxon materials, which is not yet available. ### See these articles: ### Introducing Lumion View: -
