GDL for Wall accessories addon using profiles

I would like to introduce You my new GDL which is using the new possibility in AC21 for implementing profiles from profile-Maker - for the wall accessorie-addon:

This is in first place a "try of the possibilities" - now a little buggy and scipted a little quick and dirty but it functions.

The code for using AC- Profiles within the GDL is from Piotr Dobrowolski

So smart! Super nice tool! Wish I had a tiny tiny part of your programming skills!

Thank you Heimo. Looks great. Can't wait to try it on a real task!

I think Graphisoft can benefit immensely from such talents and incorporate useful little addons like this one in their future releases. Just like 3ds MAX does.
Thank you,

This is a very useful addon.
Is it possible to ignore openings by choice? For example I want an exterior perforated siding which covers the wall even over the windows.


Do you mind if I use it in our projects?

I just tried your addon - I was able to create realistic board & batten siding with little effort --
Would love to use it on my houses !

Hi
This is fantastic. Looks like it is what I am trying to do... but when I bring it in it tells me that this was made in an educational version. Do you have it for the regular version?
Thanks

1. Open the item in the gdl editor and save it to any place or better in the downloaded library under a new name. Guid will be new.
2. Variant - through the library manager, - save the entire subfolder with all the elements. Guid will be old.

Brilliant tool although a little bit too buggy for our use at the moment. Hopefully Graphisoft can help develop this a little bit more and integrate into ArchiCAD.

As far as I'm aware there is no easy way to model standing seam cladding which is used massively in Australia.
