IRhino

[Anonymous]

A client has a project object designed on IRhino. This is the first I've heard of this product it is apparently on Ipads mainly and only on the cloud. Has anyone else heard of this product and are the objects in IRhino importable as an object into Archicad. Maybe this is a question for IRhino but I thought I'd check here first?

We know that it is possible to bring stuff from Rhino into ArchiCAD through IFC:

So I am thinking it may be possible to open that iRhino file in Rhino and save it as IFC with that plugin.

If it is a 3DM file, you can convert if directly with Rhino (not iRhino) into OBJ or 3DS that can be imported into ArchiCAD.

iRhino is the iPad viewer for 3DM files from McNeel.

If you are on Mac, currently the beta-version of Rhino for OSX can be used freely and is quite complete, so you are able to do the conversion.
If you are on Windows, the trial from Rhino is save-enabled for 25 times, so you could use that to test the conversion a few times.
