Archiglazing Archicad 28 INT Full

[Heftor]

Hello,

I’m trying to locate the official download source for the Archiglazing add-on, which was previously listed on Graphisoft’s add-ons page (link). However, the page no longer seems to host it.

Could anyone clarify:

1. Is Archiglazing still available for newer versions of Archicad 28?

2. If it’s discontinued, are there recommended alternatives for ceiling/roof glazing modeling?

Thank you for your help!

Operating system used: Windows 28.1.1

That page says to purchase, contact your local Archicad reseller.

There is a link at the bottom of that page that will help you find them.

Have you tried the curtain wall tool - you don't need to purchase that.

Hi Barry,

Thank you for your response. I am considering too the curtain wall too, but i only find youtube turorials about the glazing tool, I have to draw something like this

 I do not know which tool will be better for the job.

I will contact my archicad reseller,

Thanks again.

Hi @Barry Kelly,

I have contacted the my distributor and they responsed regarding Archiglaze’s discontinuation.
Now Archiglaze does not exist as a commercial product anymore.
I’ve done some further research and wanted to confirm a few details with you:

International Version of Archiglaze:
I found a post in the Graphisoft Community indicating that ArchiGlazing for Archicad 28 (via a German distributor, linked here).

• Is this version compatible with the Spanish/International license of Archicad?

I’d appreciate any guidance to ensure compatibility may not work with my setup.

Thank you again for your time!

Best regards,

Hector

I could not say if it will work for you or not.

I am guessing because there is a GER and AUT version, either one you download will be in that language if you can install them.

It is interesting that there is a 28 GER & AUT version, but seemingly no INT version.

I tried changing the URL to 'INT', but as it is the German Graphisoft website it does not seem to have the INT version.

That might be a question for your re-seller, why there is a GER & AUT version but no INT?

I guess you may have already tried using skylight objects to see if that will model that glass roof above ?

This official training video could help in trialing that method ?

Or as @Barry Kelly suggested you could try using the curtain wall tool to achieve your goal ?

Here is a quick coffee tip from another Archimaster who is designing a sloped curtain wall that may be able to help create a roof like yours above.

I haven’t needed the assistance of the ArchiGlazing add on but it may come to be useful in doing what you need.

Please post your results here because I am interested in how you will achieve your objective.

I just did, I will try too the installation of the GER/AUS version.

Thanks for the tip

Hi @mthd,

Thanks for the info, first of all

I try with the skylight object at first but because it was connected with the curtain wall from the outside of the building I keep using the curtain wall tool.

This is how is looking right now:

The only thing are the connections between surfaces are not the smoothest in the world

Sure ! With professional software like Archicad we want to have a high level of detail and we all understand that. I would try and build those glass atriums with a metal roof framing profile and put glass between the metal profiles. A ridge beam metal profile as well as intermediate beams. It is a bit of extra work but well worth it on a big building like yours. I don’t do multi story buildings like yours but I have done pitched pergolas and raked ceilings with individual framing members. All in days work.

Hi @mthd 

I was busy with another part of the building but i have time this week to work on the glass ceiling, here you can see some of the pictures.

I have tried with the the roof framing but i ended with the curtain wall tool in the end.

I will work on the small details from the glass ceiling but it's looking good.

Thank @mthd and @Barry Kelly for the help and the guidance.
