It's a few python scripts to import/export Inivis AC3D data into and out of Blender 2.63 to Blender 2.79.

Because in the migration from 2.4X to 2.5, it lost AC3D support. This mod aims to bring that back to 2.6 and 2.7
Yes, this is mainly a port of those files to enable the import/export of .ac files in blender 2.5
open the blender/x.x/scripts/addons folder, then pull the io_scene_ac3d folder into the addons folder of blender. There's an alternative location you can drop it, at ~/.blender/x.x/scripts/addons (linux) or c:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\x.x\scripts\addons (Windows 7+), where x.x is the version of Blender and [username] is the Windows user name.
You'll need to enable the script in the user preferences window after installing it - open the user preferences window (File->User Preferences or Ctrl-Alt-U) and then go to the Add-on tab, click the button for Import-Export and then check the box on the right of "Import-Export: AC3D (.ac)"
Go to File->Import->AC3D (.ac), select a file and let it do the work
In latest Blender versions mirror color is white per default, and that confused many users that what they exported would get totally emissive per default.
- If exporting when in Edit mode, it will not export the last edits done in Edit mode. Best is to export when in Object mode.
- When importing lines, they cannot be assigned UV coordinates as Blender does not support that.
- When exporting lines, they will always be smooth shaded, due to limitations in Blender.
- When exporting lines they will have the DefaultWhite material, except if their Blender object has only 1 and only 1 material, then they will be assigned that. This is due to Blender limitation.
- Exporter will export all materials in object material slots, even if they are not referenced. Good if you had a material you might want to assign to something later. Also annoying cause it potentially can clutter up the AC3D file with unused materials.
- I want to have an option to overwrite, or to prompt the operator if they want to overwrite textures on an export
