ARCHICAD-GRASSHOPPER 2.2

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I have tested the new release of ArchiCAD-Grasshopper live connection 2.2 (22.0.4027) for ArchiCAD 22.

I have some suggestions in my mind that I would like to share with you.

We can now get the ArchiCAD elements as a BREP in Grasshopper but will it be possible to also import as a mesh instead? Brep is larger than Mesh and therefore, difficult to work with for big project. It can take several minutes to get the BREP in grasshopper from the ArchiCAD elements.

And also, I would like to know if in the next version, it will be possible to get the colour of the ArchiCAD element in Grasshopper? I have this problem with window that I need to distinguish frame and glass. With colour I could do that. Is there any development for integration of colour in Grasshopper from ArchiCAD?

Thank you for your consideration and for the huge work that has been done between ArchiCAD and Grasshopper.

Best regards,

Frank

Seemes like a lot of work. Great! I hope it will be much more efficient now.

I did an initial test with decomposing components. It's better because the definition size is much smaller. But as it turned out AC Connection read only GUIDs of elements. Other info seems to be null.


The baking form contains without the need of converting ti RH geometry - super cool!

very well but at this end crashes regularly with Rhino 6 latest version (SR10)...

Hi,

I added your request to our system. In general there's no color/texture transferred between Rhino and ARCHICAD (even when you import a 3DM file manually), but we will see what we can do about this.

As for extracting meshes from ARCHICAD:
We have been generating this geometry anyways for the preview in Rhino, so what we did now is made it available for extraction (with customizability).
Brep is "smarter" than a mesh so it is easy to generate a mesh from a BREP, but it is a lot harder the other way around. I think this is more beneficial. If you wish to use a mesh instead, I suggest you to simply use the 'Mesh Brep' component.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. Indeed, BREP is better, I'll give it a try to convert to MESH.

Regarding the colour, that will be great if you could add this option. When export ArchiCAD model to Rhino (3DM) I actually can get the colour in Rhino and it works just fine as you can see in the screenshot below.

I can confirm huge difference in file size. My definition in previos version was around 15MB and now it is 500kb. Great work

I don't know about you but I'm experiencing continuous crashing of Rhino when the AC-GH connection is on.
I've tried to start a new AC document from zero (no template), it worked some minutes but Rhino crashed again !
I was starting to do some interesting things, it's a sorrow...
I have the latest AC22 FR and Rhino 5.14.522.8390, under Windows 10 version 1803.

Hello all,
It seems the 2.2 version has been removed from the Downloads site?
When I try to go into the page (https://www.graphisoft.com/downloads/addons/interoperability/rhino.html) I only see the 2.0 (21.0.7005) version.
What happened?

I've must have looked at when GS people changed the page... until 2h ago the page was showing only the 21 version.

Hello

Firstly, thank you for all your hard work on the ArchiCAD/Rhino/Grasshopper connection. I absolutely love it! I just wanted to note that the wall reference line is still fixed to the centre and there appears to be no way to change this. Any ideas when this option will be added?

Thanks in advance and keep up the hard work!
