Presenting the winners of the Parametric Object Factory challenge!

[#1]

Dear Community Members,

Last year we launched the Parametric Object Factory challenge, inviting you to submit the parametric objects you created in Archicad using Library Part Maker, PARAM-O and/or GDL coding.

Our colleagues in Singapore conducted dedicated client events for participants, so we have a double podium for International and Singaporean awardees. Challenge winners receive:

1^st Place - Apple iPad Pro + €400 Graphisoft Learn voucher

2^nd Place - €400 Graphisoft Learn voucher

3^rd Place - €240 Graphisoft Learn voucher

Honorable Mention(s) - €150 Graphisoft Learn voucher

Would you like to create your own parametric objects but don’t know where to start?

Our free event Parametric Object Webinar: GDL, PARAM-O and Library Part Maker introduced the tools that assist you in creating smart objects. If you missed it, the recording is available here.

We also have two courses on Graphisoft Learn, for those looking for more detailed training:

Graphisoft Jury and Selection Criteria

The jury panel selected the best entries according to the following criteria:

• Creativity and how it showed innovative, outside the box thinking;
• Solution fit, considering how the submission fit the user base’s needs;
• Interactivity using parametric maturity, ease of use

With over 90 submissions, evaluating projects was no easy task – but it was all the more enjoyable to see the wide range of works!

Without further ado, let’s dig into the results.
