You can go to http://www.encina.co.uk/gbxml_export.html

If you're using an educational version of ArchiCAD, the plugin is free.

Hello!

I guess this page encina doesn't have the gbXML plugins anymore or I can't find it?

Can someone help me with where can I get this plugin/add on for archicad?

Encina was bought out a while ago by Cadimage.
Not sure if they still have free add-ons for students but they do have a free trial.

Thank you very much...but it says on their page, that there is no trial available 😕

Does anyone else knows where I could get this gbXML plugin for archicad?

Or is there any other way that I can import my model into Ecotect and define all the thermal zones correctly?
