.STL to .GSM Batch Conversion

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello,

I need to convert a large number of 3D objects to .GSM Format. I have them in various formats but the only one that is suppored by ArchiCad is .STL. I have just started using ArchiCad so is there a way to make this process automatic (macro/script like technique). The ArchiCad versions that are available to me are 17 and 20. I prefer the older one so that the .GSM file will have more compatibility.
Thank you in advance

There is the modelport addon (3rd party software) that supports some other formats that might help, but a mass library import option is probably not available anywhere.

I need every single .STL file to be exported in a separate .GSM. I believe this modelport addon will be helpful in a different situation.

You wrote you had some various formats, but only STL is supported by ArchiCAD, which is why I mentioned modelport, as it supports some other formats.

What I meant is that I need a batch(automatic) conversion to .GSM using .STL or other 3D format.
