Wish upon an Object from BIMcomponents.com

[Levente Filetoth]

Dear Archi-Talkers,

I guess I am preaching to the choir when saying that GDL is one of the core assets of ArchiCAD. To provide support for great GDL content to get created we launched BIMcomponents.com with ArchiCAD 16. In order to give some boost to the interest for the topic we decided to help deliver some long wished GDL objects that no-one has created as of yet.

Here we call upon a little contest: share your wish for an object that you cannot find in the standard ArchiCAD library and we will see to it that some of them get programmed and shared with all of you through the BIMcomponents.com portal.

The rules are very simple, just make a post with a concise description of what you think could be solved with the help of GDL and your award is that if your idea turns out to be interesting enough it will be programed by a professional GDL developer.

Please give us your ideas and let's see if we can create some extra value to the ArchiCAD community with the help of GDL.

Disclaimer: This promotional activity's goal is to find objects that are over the line of standard object development project, hence will never make it to the standard ArchiCAD library. Please use this thread to provide your input to this specific topic and please avoid raising issues related to the development of the standard ArchiCAD object libraries and/or to the development of the GDL technology in general. Thank you for your understanding.

Here is my wish:

What about a tactile paving for blinded people:

The object would help creating the desired path and give the option to create various tactile codes more easily.

My wish is for an english version of the Bautech and Éptár RAV CAD F 1.0 cladding wall accessory

I think you need to ask that from Eptar.hu, not from Graphisoft.

Hi,
Here is another wish:

Stations with retractable divider lines!!!!

There are plenty of these in banks and airports or public areas.
GDL object would have options for:
- max distance between posts
- 1 or 2 divider lines
- Type of connection: single line connection, T conection or crossed connection
