AI Visualizer Technical questions

[Illes Papp]

We know that taking part in an experiment can be challenging from time to time. Do you have issues with installing or running the Archicad AI Visualizer Add-on? This is your place to ask your questions and initiate discussion with others about technical difficulties you may experience while trying to install or run the experimental add-on, or generate images.

Hi, everything is working fine when in Low VRAM mode. Results are very interesting so far and render times are decent (about 1 minute).

[Oosh]

I have installed home-brew and executed the commands in Terminal per the installation instructions. I have copied the sd.webui folder to the Archicad 27 Apple Silicon folder and copied the AI visualizer folder into the extras folder within the add-ons folder.

Archicad is not showing the AI visualizer as a palette and when I open the add on manager it says: "The file is an outdated Add-On that cannot be used with this Archicad version."

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to install the latest AC27 update for the visualizer to work?

I can’t even get the commands to run in Terminal. It just returns an error saying the URL cannot be found.

I followed the installation instructions for windows but when I try to generate it give me an error that the AI server is not available.

Installed and the engine seems to be running.

However, I keep running into to errors that are explained by a very generic pop-up (see image).

It also refers to the technical documentation but I haven't been able to find that anywhere 😄

I had similar errors - but I think it was because I tried to generate images before the engine was properly loaded. Once I waited (more than one minute) it stopped that error (and started giving me other ones).

Hi Erik

I waited for 5 minutes...just to make sure and I had the same error.

Dear Illés! Hi everyone!

My setup: Ryzen 5 5600X; 16GB RAM; 500GB SSD; Radeon RX570 8GB VRAM; WIN11

I've read the install/user guides. I've pasted the sd.webui to the C:/root and the Add-on files to the AC library. (Already renamed them as Hungarian version)

The palette works fine, I unchecked the „Start in High VRAM mode" and when I try to Generate I get this message: Image generation failed.(screenshot attached)
Then I tried to click on Start AI Engine and I get this message: see in screenshot.

Can you please explain exactly what should I do step by step?
Thank you!

I would guess the problem is that you don't have an NVIDIA graphics card. You could check the system requirements to see if this is necessary.

Thank you, but I think it's not the case. There is nothing about the graphics card manufacturer in system requirements. Even though it should work on weaker configs too:

I think I should make some changes in the command lines, and that's where I'm stuck.
