Which version of rhino is most compatible with archicad?

[LeeJaeYoung]

REVIT is pushing GD (generative design) a lot.
It seems to be advertised as being able to do apartment layout with this.
And it is said that optimal arrangement is also possible.

If so, how should I access it in archicad?
Are you trying to do it through Rhino?
So, what is the optimal Rhino version?

Hi there,

Grasshopper-Archicad 25 Live Connection, Supports Rhino 5.

Grasshopper-Archicad 26 Live Connection, Supports Rhino 6 and Rhino 7.

[LeeJaeYoung]

which one are you using?

Actually, that is not what the official Graphisoft download page says:

https://graphisoft.com/us/downloads/addons/interoperability/rhino

It says that for both Ac24 and Ac25, there is a version of the Add-On that support Rhino 5 and 6, and another that supports Rhino 6 and 7.

However, for Ac26, there is only one version and it supports Rhino 5 and 6.

So, it seems that Ac26 does not yet have a connection that supports Rhino 7.

I use Rhino 7 with Archicad 26, but i’m gonna change to Maya.

Do you use Rhino for renders / 3D modeling?

[LeeJaeYoung]

I'm thinking of doing modeling.
Rendering is thinking of twinmotion or lumion.
I am a beginner.
I want to know your opinion.

What version of archicad do you use?

[sayon3d]

Hi Lee,

For renders, Lumion but D5 Render, seems also to be very good.

For modeling, you can try Blender. It's a very good and complete 3D app, with many options, and it's Open Source Software. (absolutely free)
