Hyperlink for ArchiCAD objects?

[Anonymous]

I can't find a hyperlink property for ArchiCAD objects (other CAD applications like AutoCAD, Revit, Triforma, etc. have them). Does such a thing exist in ArchiCAD?

thanks in advance, Chuck

Hi Vladimir

When you open the object in the editor you must put the # in front of the URL in the comment script eg #http://.....

Otherwise this will put a URL button in the interface script:

UI_BUTTON UI_LINK, "Visit Website", 200,180, 100,20, 0,
"http://www.graphisoft.com"

One solution leads to another question though:

In looking at the menu-related API, it doesn't look like you can modify the right-click context menu, right? It would be nice to add "Follow Hyperlink..." to this menu for an element that has a hyperlink...

I'm quite certain the right-click web link WAS there a couple of versions
ago...possibly AC10 or AC9. Now obsolete for some odd reason.

It should come back soonest and be scriptable and not static.

Thanks GS, looking forward to it!

Hello,

Checked and it is ArchiCAD 9 that has the right-click www-link for objects.

In the Interface Script you can use hyperlink too.

UI_BUTTON UI_LINK, "Visit the website", 291,135, 100,20, 0,"http://www.masterscript.nl"

Has this feature been disabled in Ver 14? I can place the URL in the comment section proceeded with the # character and it displays correct next to the earth symbol....but nothing happens when I click it.

I have no problem to access the site the url is pointing to, but I have AC12. But, my problem is: When I press Preview from the Interface Script or I press the button when I'm using the GDL, I go to the site,
but AC12 crashes every time I click in AC.
This is a serious problem, naturally. Do someone have an idea?

hmmm that sounds odd. is your AC12 up to date?

Probably not! I never install updates 🙂
But I "solved" the problem by just putting the link in as a text.
So then "people" can copy the address.
