I have found several, but they are RFA and Archicad 25 wont let me import them, it is from the wrong Revitversion i guess...

This is a roller shutter door, and it's a standard object that really ought to be in the object library. There is a wishlist item for it.

 

In the meantime, someone on this forum told me you can use the empty window object with the sunshade option.

You can do things like this with it:

There are quite a few options that may work for you.

 

The 'high speed door and Garage door options are not at all the same. This is the closest.

There are a lot of rfa objects, but no GDL. I tested myself in bimobject and other sites..

I worked with manufacturers in the past and unless they have regular demands from Archicad users, they have no incentive to model their products for BIM other than for Revit unfortunately... You could maybe try to contact some of them and ask for a Revit file in a version that would be fine to import in AC25.

Could you make do using the default High Speed Door object with a texture for your grating? There is no option to modify the motor box though...

If you don't need it parametric, then you could create it from slabs and beams on the floor and then save as a door object.

This is really interesting. I have to look into that! 

 

Thank you!

The window-opening object in my library didn't have the possibillity of sunshade. So I D/L the object Rectangular Window Opening 17, with wich I did this:

But how do I change the look of the surface to something similar to your picture?

Not the opening tool but an empty opening object should have the sunshade option.

This is 26 but 25 should be the same.

In the material setting you can choose a 'perforated metal material' if you have one.

If not you may be able to find one in the new material from surface catalogue option.
