Allplan Export Limitations
The following limitations apply when exporting objects:
In Allplan each object is limited to a maximum of:
 10,922 points.
 32,767 edges.
 8,181 polygons.
You can check the number of points and polygons for the object using the Structure Manager
(Windows > Structure Manager) or Object Information command (right-click the object and choose
Object Information).
The Object Information command has the advantage that it gives you numbers in brackets that relate
to the actual numbers of points and polygons that will be exported when the object is ultimately
subdivided.
For example, if you place an object inside a HyperNURBS, the HyperNURBS will subdivide the object
to smooth it. This greatly increases the numbers of points, edges and polygons, and before you know
it the object may exceed the above Allplan limitations!
In such cases, try reducing the Subdivision Renderer value to, say, 2.
Also, avoid edges that are shared by more than two polygons; if present, these will lead to error
messages.
