Tapioca - UI for python commands

[m83]

I have been working on Tapioca Archicad addon that piggybacks on Tapir API and AC Python API.

Build your own UI for your python macros or automation, analysis scripts. Expose inputs, preview intermediate results (TBD) and choose outputs - make scripts more universal.

Few examples:
UI pickers

 

Do basic math on with your objects and get current value.

 

  

Save to worksheet, layout, image, pdf...
Or create geometry, edit properties.  

  

Overlay or separate preview window for analysis. With DiligentEngine or ThreeJS

 

 

 

 

Disclaimer -
It is still in very early experimental development, subject to breaking changes.
Currently only on windows + AC29.
Project is very much vibe coded and oriented for coding agents to build your scripts.

 

 

Operating system used: Windows

Some progress
Having a synced overlay to geometry seems like promising path for useful design aids.

Height Clearance as overlay in 3D or floor plan view. 

Maybe even more fun topography editor will be possible.
