How to create a GDL for bindweed

The_Artist — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 12:20:50 GMT

I want to add a biophilic design to my project, but the results I got with the "greenwall" object in bimcomponents and the native archicad greenwall object with photos didn´t make me happier, so I´m looking for other ways to finish this project. I need measurents and so on and do not want in looking after AI platforms.

Maybe you can explain a bit more what you're unhappy with and share some photos, both of your current work and what you try to achieve.

Personally I would recommend to just go with a picture, because it is a bit reckless to actually go and model flowers, plants and suchlike. You will break AC faster with that resulting polygon number than it's worth it.

There´s this hedge in archicad I used before, but it takes to much time to render and I believe if I use a real green wall/hedge object it will look more realistic.

Then there´s this object by Humko, but again I didn´t like to have this metal and support, as I´m only interested in the vegetation.

If you are wanting plants to look realistic, I would advise you replace them in what ever rendering package you are using due to the reason Runxel pointed out.

Regarding the Humko object, if that is a native AC object, you ask the creator, or dig into it yourself, and disable the framing. The vegetation looks like a called subroutine so it should be possible to isolate.

Hi,
I created this type of object in Archicad 19 using images (so fewer polygons for Archicad).
It's in French and allows for several variations.

This object is available for free after registration and introduction on the Archi-CADlink forum.
It's not protected and can be translated by anyone who wants to.

Here's a short introductory video.
