Early developments on Python\Archicad integration addon

[leceta]

founded this addon at Github. Still on very early stage, but hey, let's see what is coming...

PauperTools is a bridge-based plug-in developed specifically for Archicad architectural design software that allows developers to re-engineer Archicad architectural design software using the Python development language. Let the developers or users of Archicad escape from the abyss of C/C++.

That looks great!
I tried to use it but my Archicad doesn't want to load it up, says it is too old.
Is its developpment still ongoing?
Hope it is because that would be something great and long wished for.
Best regards to the developper.

Try Rhino Python https://developer.rhino3d.com/guides/rhinopython/

Rhino Python has a translator +/- that will generate python scripts that can be used with just about any program and file format. IFC for example.

If your going to generate python scripts Rhino is a great way to do it.

The python script I am most interested in just now is for use with pen settings. How to convert the default pens the library parts come with match my standard pen set. I am tired of changing all pens for all library parts I use. I saw somewhere here on the ArchiCAD Talk forum that someone is working on a python script to help with this process. I hope it is working very well now. ?

Hi, Mr. Akos.
I tried to use PythonSnippets plugin but my Archicad 23(3003) didn't load it up, complained that it is too old.
What we should do?

same here.
in my case it might be the language.
is there a way to use the addon on the swiss version of archicad?

Please consider that Python 3.7 must be installed.
mac: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.3/python-3.7.3-macosx10.9.pkg
win: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.3/python-3.7.3-amd64.exe

I use it with the AC23 swiss version and it works

[galiaf_velikiy]

my AC23 (3003) and Python version is 3.7.4 and it doesn't work... do you think it is because of the Python 3.7.4?

ANSWER: YES!

For them who will have the same issue: It is very important to have Python 3.7.3. Just Uninstall other versions and install Python 3.7.3 and everything will work.
