GSM extension file

[Martin Jules]

Hi,

Is there a new way or method to read imported .gsm exension files in Archicad 25?

I am not aware of any change in AC25. Once you have imported your object you may need to click on the "Reload & Apply" in Library Manager to make it available.

@Martin Jules Could you clarify?  Are you talking about just using an individual, ordinary GDL object  (GSM) in a project?  Or are you talking about reading using add-on or API code?  This is the Developer forum and is for the latter kinds of questions.  I'll move your post if it instead concerns merely getting an ordinary object to load and be placed in a project.  Thanks.

Karl,

After saving model as a .gsm extension file, and then try to open this .gsm file from another Archicad file, there is no 3D model because of errors. I don't know why.

If you make new objects by selecting existing objects and "combining" them, then putting them in a new project the library with the other objects has to be loaded, too.

@runxel It has been done as you mentioned.

@Martin Jules , may be, and I say may be an error have occurred when the GSM file was created, the solution to this is to repeat the export process, and hope that this will fix your issue.

Or, you have saved the GSM in binary, and if that was true you will not be able to read it. Just repeat the process, but uncheck the binary option

@Martin Jules  How big is the model you are saving as a GSM?

[Peter Baksa]

We have found a bug with saving a model to gsm when the model uses profile attributes: the generated gsm has incorrect syntax.

As a workaround open the saved object in GDL editor and replace ind(profile, …)  statements to ind(profile_attr, …).
