Importing and Cleaning up Objects in Archicad

JaredBanks — Sun, 29 Oct 2023 23:47:47 GMT

There's a bunch of ways to clean up/create Objects in Archicad. Here's a link to my recent blog post and YouTube video showing how to take a SketchUp object, explode it into a morph, clean it up, and turn it into a Archicad object with a good 2D symbol:

And here's a link to the YouTube video itself, if you want to skip the additional info in the blog post:

Page won't display for me, Jared.... maybe because your site needs an SSL certificate? Both Chrome and Safari just sit there.

That's odd. The link works fine for me on Firefox, Safari, and Vivaldi.

Both links work fine for me in Firefox (haven't tried any other browsers).

Both work for me on Chrome and Edge.

Weird! Blog still won't open for me (I think my browsers may block non-SSL sites)... but the Youtube link is fine. Thanks for adding that! Cheers.

This is what I see in Sonoma Safari...

Everything else is visible & working.

I guess I need to get that SSL certificate to remove these issues for those that are running into them. Glad it's working for the majority of people.

I thought the majority of hosts include free certificates now given Googles security change... Are you self hosting?

Dreamhost. I might just be missing a setting. I haven't done a major update to my website in too many years. It's high on the to do list.

DreamHost is supplying free certificates via Let's Encrypt. You just need to go through the process and add it to your domain. A quick search presents an article from DreamHost about how to do it.

@JaredBanks Back to your OP, you could also combine everything you have shown with the Library Part Maker add-on to generate objects with MVO controlled detail if that was relevant to the SU model and user requirements.

I haven't looked at LPM in way too long. I'm looking forward to hearing James Murray talk about it this afternoon during his Archicad by the Beach presentation. We had a presentation on Modelport 3.0 yesterday and that looks really promising for similar import needs.

Karl, Thanks for pointing this out. It was the kick in the <redacted> that I needed. I got the SSL certificate all set up this morning. Everything should load properly for you now.
