English version of Kanaltool and Elektro-Tool?

[Florian Lohberger]

hi all,

we need these objects:
https://archicard.graphisoft.de/?p=120529
and
https://archicard.graphisoft.de/?p=120517
in english.

Anyone knows equivalent GDL objects from the english speaking Archicad world?

Thanks!
Florian

The site requires login information so it is not possible to so what the Objects look like.
Can you upload screenshots that show these Objects?

Jung has published BIM data, please try this link, I am not shure but it looks a bit like your request.

Here are the PDF printed from the website.

We need this in english and ((optional) with the possibility to change the circular segmentation to minimise the polygone counts (openBIM, IFC => triangulation, we model huge hospitals => a lot of polygones "just" for sockets, ...))

thanks a lot!

BR, Florian

Thank you for the link! It looks promising.
Problem I see is that the objects are too detailed, even in lowest settings.

Another one:

and:

And about the archicard-objects: Ask Graphisoft Germany if you are allowed to translate the objects or let translate them, if you are a ArchiCARD user.

Well, the electrical one might be the Cadimage Electrical tool. (https://centralinnovation.com/archicad/extensions/cadimage-electrical)

Thanks for the input!
We will look into cadimage and will contact the authors of the german Archicard object.
