This sounds promising, but frankly I'm not confident downloading and installing something that has full access to my ARCHICAD data file (and potentially my computer file system) from someone who does not identify themselves with their real name, location and qualifications... and with youtube links that do not work and minimal documentation / examples relevant to ARCHICAD. I would caution casual users from downloading and installing this plugin.

Well, if links will be fixed - then yes, this is really cool. I will wait until it will have more functions and will be available on MacOS.
Because we need something like that.
By the way, by making my research on Python, I've found that earlier beta version of Python on ArchiCAD 23 was able to use C++ commands, but was very slow. I wish one day to see tool that able to make fully functional plug-ins without writing and compile C++.

I am not an architect. My real profession is an IoT developer. The focus of my current work is to use Archicad in the IoT field.

The current version is not functional enough. On the one hand, it is released because some developers have such requirements. I will give a solution when I release this version. On the other hand, I believe that all people want to have a simple way to solve complex problems. Xbimer is the simple way. Soon I will write a new article to explain what xbimer can do. And how to coordinate the relationship between architects and plug-in developers through xbimer. I believe not all architects will use the official C + + SDK for plug-in development.

I propose that this thread should just be archived for now and that you post again when you have something that is fully useful and of interest to this community. As a newcomer to Archicad Talk, starting a new thread about something that is not (yet) useful is a strange way to join the community🙂
