Extensions for ArchiCAD 8.1 SE

Sam Karli

Are there any 3D extensions for the ArchiiCAD 8.1 SE? I trien GDL toolbox, but the 2.0 needs at least an AC 9, and the 1. is unavailable. The Archiforma is on the developers' site, but the download link doesn't work.

Does anyone know a free downloadable 3D extension?

Thanx in advance

ArchiForma2 for sure worked with ArchiCAD SE. You could also freely use MaxonForm instead linking it with AC by add-on (only for 9 and 10) You could use 3dsImport.
GDLToolbox is for free now but only for version 9. If You write to Archidata maybe they give You version for 8.1 (?).

Archiforma cannot be downloadad: the linkis dead. I'll give a try with MaxonForm.

I've found a simple sollution: there is an extension called Profiler, and although it shipped with AC and installed, isn't loaded automatically. Loading of this extension solved the problem.

I would contact Fabrizio about ArchiForma, and also ARCHIData about GDL Toolbox.

This would be a great help for me.

I am also thinking about upgrading my 8.1SE to 9SE, if exists, but so far here in Budapest, Hungary I don't know anything about newer SE editions and upgrading to them.
