The workflow is different but it can be done<BR /> As for free plugins I don't know that many people that like working without compensation but most of the times it depends on what you need. Without knowing specific samples it is hard to know what functionality is missing that will be fixed by "free" plugins.

ArchiCAD and Revit are professional software not enthusiast software so there is not generally a community of enthusiasts working for free to develop free plugins Sun, 21 Oct 2018 07:04:36 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/why-the-archicad-is-not-more-flexible-like-revit-to-make-complex/m-p/253953#M133788 Anonymous 2018-10-21T07:04:36Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/why-the-archicad-is-not-more-flexible-like-revit-to-make-complex/m-p/253954#M133789 I'd like to think the morph tool covers all your needs.
