Export daylight results from Grasshopper back to ArchiCAD

Anonymous

Hi,

I'm doing a daylight analysis through Grasshopper from ArchiCAD drawings. I'd like to send back my results with the daylight grid but it seems not possible to export my daylight grid from grasshopper to ArchiCAD. Do you have any idea of how to deal with it?

Best,

Frank

Hi Moonlight,

Here it is, that's a quick example. If you need more things just let me know. The goal is to send my results (daylight factor) to ArchiCAD. Those are meshes.

Hi Gerhard,

Sorry I was quiet busy creating GDL objects for a client, and I have just seen your message right now

Here is my personal email:

And be persistent, as I usually tend to forget to do things.
A good friend of mine have once told me that I´m so brute that I´m capable of creating a GDL script capable of creating GDLs.

I have just seen that you had a nice problem to solve and quiet unusual .

For 2D geometries:
ArchiCAD associate preconfigured Pens to geometries, so:
  • it may be advisable to create a specific pen table just for exporting results, and in my opinion, not bad, but not a good answer either
  • Another way is to create a GDL that will be independent from ArchiCAD's Pen table

Hi Moonlight,

Thanks for your support I really appreciate it

I never create any GDL object so I'm not sure about how to deal with it. Do you have any example of how to do with GDL object for exporting results?

Have a nice day,
