Automation: Recurring execution of publishing

[Tibor Lorantfy]

Hi fellow developers!

I started 2 new hobby open source projects at github:

• Python scripts for Archicad
• Additional JSON/Python Commands Add-On for Archicad

The python scripts and the Add-On both works with Archicad 25 (build 2450) or later.

Python scripts for Archicad

Currently it contains one script, recurring_publish.py.
The script can schedule recurring publishing.
Archicad will be shut down after each publishing and it will be restarted before each publishing, the project will be reloaded automatically. User can choose Publisher Sets to publish.
Works for Teamwork (BIMcloud) projects also. A receive command is executed before each publishing.

Additional JSON/Python Commands Add-On for Archicad

This Add-On extends the JSON interface of Archicad by implementing new JSON commands.
These JSON commands are callable via Python.
The Add-On is required by the python scripts in archicad-python-scripts github repo.

Currently implemented Commands

•  
• Publish
•  
• GetProjectInfo
•  
• TeamworkReceive
•  
• GetArchicadLocation
•  
• Quit

What is Headless ArchiCAD's mean?

A so called "headless" program is an app, that is executed without a GUI, running in the background.
Other apps can still interact with it, tho.

A headless Archicad could be the spiritual successor of the ODBC driver, which was sacked in v20.

Hi, 

it is still working with Archicad 25 5005 for Mac? I can add scripts like "recurring_publish.py" ...
But how to install the "Archicad-additional-json-commands.bundle" ? I copied it to the Graphisoft folder "Add-Ons", but Archicad didn´t find it automatically. When I add it manually in Archicad to the Addon-Manager, Archicad shows me the yellow warning symbol. Python 3.10 is installed. Thanks for help in advance.

The Additional JSON/Python Commands Add-On does not work in Archicad 26 Build 3010. Is there anyway that you could compile the Addon for the latest version for People with no experience in compiling Addons?

This would be highly appreciated.

best regards

The Tapir plugin team plan to compile an Add-on extanding the JSON/Plugin Commands. You should connect to the team (https://www.Archicad-api.com/)
