Easier Parametric Object Creation

Jarrod Phillips

Hi All,

 

This is something I am sure has been brought up many times over the years, but I will say it again, we need a more efficient way to create parametric objects within Archicad.

 

I am currently working on a hospital project in Australia and I have been tasked with creating our company AusHFG library for current and future hospital projects. Whilst I love using GDL, I can’t help but think as an Archicad practice we are at a severe disadvantage when it comes to creating objects when compared to Revit based practices.

 

Creating parametric objects is critical to hospital work and a lot of resources are spent creating a working AusHFG library, time that could be better spent on project work. It’s evident that there has been community backlash with regard to the latest Archicad release. I think it’s fair to say that Archicad really needs to do something big for long term Archicad users like myself in order to win back trust. A more efficient way to create parametric objects is a great place to start and something that frankly needs to be addressed. Revit is looking more and more appealing.

 

Regards,

 

Jarrod

Don't forget this webinar tomorrow ...

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Webinars/eb-p/events

 

I don't think it will be very detailed with only 10 minutes dedicated to Param-o but who knows.

There is always the Q & A.

 

Also open the above webinar notice and you will see a link to a free training course on the Learn portal for Param-o.

I haven't tried it yet so can't say what it is like.

I believe a lot more example Param-O objects and GDL scripts could make a difference for those who want or need to create their specific objects, so that they could develop/adjust something further instead of creating from scratch.
