Is there any API to capture/export a View to an image file?

[Tran Thanh Lo]

Hi everyone,

Is there any native way in the Archicad API (C++ or JSON-RPC) to programmatically capture or export the current active view (2D or 3D) directly into an image file (PNG/JPG)?

If a direct API doesn't exist, what is the recommended standard workaround to achieve this?

Thank you!

Hi,

I am consulting with the developers, I'll come back to you soon.

Hi,

As far as the developers could find, there is no direct way of exporting a view as an image.

There is a workaround, unfortunately this one has to modify the plan file. You can create a layout, and save it as an image instead of pdf.

Best regards,

Tamás
