How to make plugins run automatically

sxs — Thu, 22 May 2025 05:38:05 GMT

Hi,everyone.

I want to create an automation plugin which means that once Archicad completes opening the model file, the plugin will run directly without any user intervention like clicking menu button.

I don't know how to do that.Please give me some suggestions;

I have tried using it ACAPI_ProjectOperation_CatchProjectEvent(APINotify_AllInputFinished, NotificationHandler) Listening to the model open event, it was found that this API needs to be called in GSErrCode Initialize (void), and Initialize does not automatically execute after archicad opening the model and needs to be triggered by the user.

Look at

Catch project event right from Archicad startup (without user input)

"If you want to load an addon at start of archicad, you need to return APIAddon_Preload from CheckEnvirinment function."

Thank you, It works.
