Please teach me.

Archicad27 C++ Add-on / Windows 10-11

1)How can I convert Object type columns and beams in an IFC file imported into ArchiCAD using the C++ add-on to ArchiCAD's own columns and beams?

2)There is a command "Convert to Morph" in the context menu, how can I do this in the c++ addon?

Hi,

1) It depends on whether you can get the attributes (width, depth and height, etc.) of column/beam from those objects you'd convert, if you can have that, then it will be easy to create Archicad native columns and beams with API.

2) Unfortunately there is no command like "Convert to Morph" which allow you convert to convert to column and beam in Archicad.

HTH.
