I have created a house in TFP.  Is there a way to efficiently re-use the work done in TFP in ArchiCAD?
I know that .dxf files (2d floorplans and 3d model) can be exported and I have tried loading those in Sketchup which seems to work but it looks like a lot of cleanup is requred.
Are there any converters that will convert the TFP file into other high level (walls, door,etc) formats as opposed to lines and triangles.

thanks

If you import it you need to show in rendered mode and not wire view to see the model successfully.

Turbo Floorplan is a cut down version of Envisioneer and so it might be possible to open in Envisioneer.

You can download Envsioneer Express free and try it.

For 2D Drawings I have successfully exported from Envisioneer in DWG/DXF and done my plans in 2D in TurboCad.

You can but TurboCad Deluxe V11 for a
