Archicad design tools: Workflows, element connections, modeling tips

Articles

In this article I will be focusing on a simple example to demonstrate RH-GH-AC live connection, another wonderful OPEN BIM workflow from Graphisoft. We will start with an input from a Archicad (AC) file and based on that input a set of balconies will be created using Grassho...
