Rhino – Grasshopper – ARCHICAD Toolset

Rhino – Grasshopper – ARCHICAD Toolset connects the best design tools for the different design stages on both Mac and Windows platforms. These tools fill a gap in the design process between early stage design and Building Information Modeling. They offer solutions for seamless, bi-directional geometry transfer as well as a way to translate basic geometrical shapes into full BIM elements while adding algorithmic editing functionality.
