Point as 3D hotspot

furtonb — Thu, 11 May 2023 09:10:00 GMT

Hi,

If I would like to use a 3D point from GH (or Rhino itself) as a 3D hotspot in ARCHICAD to snap to, is there a way to do it?

I'm calculating the center of gravity for a set of objects, and it would be very helpful to get it back.

The 3D text could work as well, as I want to represent the overall mass, but it cannot be set to zero thickness. Should I create a new library part that is placed at the center of gravity position, and write the mass value to a property?
(That way I could label it with the Autotext label.)

Any thoughts?

this should work

I was hoping to achieve this in a more straightforward way, e.g. placing the point in Rhino and voilá, 3D hotspot!
